WHERE CAN I FIND A DATE?

DATE HANDLERS

Food processors and manufacturers are increasingly discovering dates as a cost-effective, easily incorporated ingredient.

Considerably less acidic than some other dried fruits, California Dates will not interfere with chemical leavening systems or greatly alter yeast-leavened dough characteristics. Their natural sweetness compliments a wide range of dairy product formulations.

Whether used in baked foods, dairy products, cereals or confections, California Dates add a naturally sweet dimension to product development that makes them perfect for food industry applications. In fact, adding dates to your formulations is a great alternative to processed sugars. As an old favorite finding new appeal, dates are a fresh surprise!

Their mild but distinctive flavor lends itself to sweet and savory formulations and strengthens and compliments other ingredients. California Dates are a good source of fiber and copper, contain no fat, cholesterol or sodium; building the healthful product profile demanded by today’s consumer.
