About dried dates

Dates have been cultivated for thousands of years. They can be eaten fresh, but typically dehydrated dates are a more popular option. There are several varieties of dates. Two of the most flavorful types are Deglet Noor and Medjool. Deglet Noor dates are often referred to as the “Queen of all dates.” They’re loved for their honey-like taste. Medjool dates are the largest of the date varieties. They’re sometimes referred to as the King of dates. People often fall in love with their caramel-like flavor. Dates can be eaten as a snack or used to elevate the flavor and increase the nutritional value of many of your favorite dishes. They’re frequently used in bread and dessert recipes. When you buy dried dates online, you can have dates readily available to cover almost any culinary adventure you engage in. Dry dates are versatile enough to be a part of your morning smoothie, stuffed to serve as an impressive Hors d’oeuvre at your next party and incorporated into pork and chicken dishes for added sweetness.

You’ll probably be buying dates in bulk once you discover the diverse health benefits they offer. Staying healthy should be a lifestyle priority. Preventing illness is a key factor in living a full, vibrant life. Incorporating foods, such as dried dates, that have extensive health benefits and function as a preventative against a myriad of health problems is one of the best steps you can take toward staying healthy. Dried dates promote digestive, heart and brain health. They help protect against colon, prostate, breast, lung and pancreatic cancers. Dates can help reduce blood pressure, relieve diarrhea, prevent constipation and help prevent iron-deficient anemia. Dried dates can be a beneficial part of a pregnant woman’s diet, someone dealing with arthritis and those on a weight loss diet.

How to harvest dates?

Dates are harvested between September and December. The method of harvesting involves placing a net around the fruit that has grown in strands on the tree branches. Dates that fall on the ground aren’t used due to excessive bruising and potential spoilage. Dates that are grown as part of a large operation are transported to a processing facility and prepared for packaging. If dates are harvested in small number, such as from trees in your yard, the netting process is still the method used for harvesting. After removing the dates from the stalk, you’ll need to put them on a tray and begin the drying process.

How to dry dates?

There are several ways to dry dates. The traditional method involves placing dates on a tray and setting it in direct sunlight for several days. You’ll need to cover the dates with a screen to keep them safe from birds, insects and contamination. The use of a dehydrator is another way of drying dates. A third method of dehydrating dates is the oven drying method which can be time consuming and inconvenient as it involves turning the oven on and off to assure that the end result is dried dates, not cooked dates. Considering the time involved in drying dates and possibly the cost of purchasing a dehydrator, you might find the most preferred method of obtaining a supply of dried dates to be buying dates in bulk. Dates dry slowly whereas ordering them online is quick, easy, convenient and affordable.

Dried dates nutrition

You can expect to find yourself eager to buy bulk dates once you see how nutritional they are. When you buy bulk dates, it’s important to store them properly. Dried dates can be kept in an airtight container in the pantry for several months. Storing them in the refrigerator or freezer will prolong their shelf life. Dried dates are a good source of potassium, calcium, iron, fiber, and protein. Dates are also a good source of vitamin A, vitamin K and B-complex vitamins. Dried dates contain flavonoid polyphenolic antioxidants known as Tannins. Tannins possess anti-infection and anti-inflammatory properties. Grab a bag of dates for snack and you’ll also be getting some of the copper, magnesium, manganese, selenium, zinc and boron that your body needs to stay healthy.
