UNDERSTANDING DRIED DATES
Know the product.
Choose for your application.
Product & processing
Dates are the fruit of Phoenix dactylifera. Commercial types range from soft to semi-dry and dry, with different handling and texture. Variety, moisture and whether the stone has been removed are key purchasing details.
Food industry applications
Whole dates suit snack packs. Chopped dates suit cereals and bakery, while paste can bind fruit bars or form fillings. Powder and syrup are different ingredients and need their own composition and processing specifications.
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Soft | Medjool and Mazafati are listed as soft types. |
| Semi-dry | Deglet Noor, Zahidi and Aseel are listed as semi-dry types. |
| Dry | Thoory and Dayri are included in the guide’s dry category. |
| Formats | Whole pitted or unpitted, chopped, paste and powder. Confirm any coating or carrier in cut and powdered products. |
| Size / condition | Request count or weight range, moisture, skin condition and residual-stone controls. |
Formats and pack sizes are reference options, subject to supplier confirmation. Agree the specification, tolerances and documentation for the offered lot before purchase.
Can date paste replace chopped dates in a bar?
They perform different roles: paste contributes binding and a continuous texture, while chopped fruit provides discrete inclusions. Trial the selected variety and moisture level in the intended recipe.
