California Dates:

Sweet Versatility
 

Increasingly, food processors and manufacturers are 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. In fact, adding dates to your formulations will help save on refined sugars. As an old favorite finding new appeal, dates are a fresh surprise!
