Type of dates - "Deglet Nour".

Dates are the fruit of date palms (or date palms) native to the Middle East and North Africa.

The date drying process involves harvesting the ripe dates, cleaning them and drying them, such as sun drying or mechanical drying in ovens or dehydrators. This dehydration process helps extend the fruit's shelf life and concentrates the natural sugars, giving dried dates their sweet taste.

Dried dates are a popular and nutritious snack that is often used for a variety of culinary purposes, both sweet and savory. This fruit is known for its high energy content, as it is rich in natural sugars, fiber, vitamins (such as B vitamins) and minerals (such as potassium and magnesium). Dates are also used as natural sweeteners in recipes, and date paste or date syrup made from dried dates can be used as a healthier alternative to processed sugar in baking and cooking.

Due to their natural sugar content, dried dates are a quick source of energy. This makes dates a popular choice for athletes and people looking for a natural energy boost.

Organic dates are grown and dried using organic farming methods. Organic farming is an approach to agriculture that emphasizes sustainability, environmental responsibility, and the avoidance of synthetic chemicals, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and artificial additives. Usually, in order to protect nuts from pests and keep them as long as possible, they are exposed to artificial chemicals - pesticides, and as you know, many pesticides are toxic and dangerous to human health. For this reason, it is important to choose certified, organic products.
