Deglet Noor dates are the poster child of the date community, they are what most people envision when picturing dates. These pitted dates, commonly referred to as “The Royal Date” or “The Mother of All Dates”, have gained worldwide popularity for their versatility. Deglet Noor dates are not only a consumer favorite, but popular for chefs, bakers, ingredient producers, and breweries to use in their recipes.

The date ranges in color from yellow to amber and are translucent in color. They have a firm flesh, about medium sized, semi-dry, and a sugary flavor. This composition makes it the perfect substitution and healthy alternative sweetener for refined sugars in cooking and baking. Many people use them to make date sugar, syrups, or pastes to bake with. They are dry enough to chop up and add to recipes while still maintaining their consistency in cookies, breads, or other baked goods.
Deglets are a great source of iron, fiber, B-vitamins, antioxidants, flavonoids, and potassium. Unlike the Medjool Date that only contains glucose and fructose, the Deglet Noor date contains glucose, fructose, and sucrose in almost equal parts and serve as a powerhouse for quick energy. Not only do Deglet Noor dates taste great, but they are also nutrient dense.
