Dried Dates

Dried dates are naturally sweet, chewy fruits with a rich, caramel-like flavor. They have a dense, sticky texture and a deep brown color, often with a slightly wrinkled skin. When dried, their sugars concentrate, making them much sweeter than fresh dates. They are commonly used in desserts, snacks, and energy bars, or as a natural sweetener in various dishes. The taste of dried dates is complex, with hints of toffee, honey, and sometimes a subtle earthy note.
