I have been working hard the last few months to try and improve my
diet and lose some weight. Dates have
certainly been part of my efforts as snacks and also as a healthy start to the
day as part of my breakfast. I find they
stop me getting hungry too quickly and snacking on junk or over-eating at
lunch.
So when Whole
Fresh Dates approached me about a sponsored post,
it felt very relevant to my journey right now and I was certainly up for
working with them (I only work with brands and companies that I feel are
consistent with my blog content, I would happily use myself or I think might be
of interest to readers).
Whole Fresh Dates are based right in the middle of date country USA in Yuma,
Arizona. They are able to provide the highest quality dates because of their
ability to source from several high quality Medjool date farms throughout the
Southwest. These farms are located in Bard California, Yuma Arizona and the
Coachella valley.
Their
website explains that date growers grade fruit dates based on size, skin
condition and moisture content. These grades are Jumbo, Large, Extra Fancy,
Fancy, and on the lower end, Cooking, Convection or Mixed dates. Whole Fresh Dates only package the three
highest grades to ensure only premium quality
The
Whole Fresh dates website offers lots of
information about the health benefits of Medjool dates including:
- Packed with fibre
- High in Potassium
- Full of a multitude of essential vitamins and high-in-B vitamins including: Vitamin A, K, B, B1, B6, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Folate and Choline
- Medjool dates contain Magnesium, Iron and Manganese
- No cholesterol, sodium or fat
Some of the reasons Whole Fresh Dates are the best place to buy your dates in the States include:
- They offer FREE Shipping to anywhere in the United States.
- They only sell the current year’s crop, which yields the freshest dates possible
- They GUARANTEE you will receive the freshest Medjool dates possible, or the cost of your purchase will be refunded up to 2.5lbs
- All of their dates are packed in a registered FDA facility.
- They offer the option of safe payment through PayPal
- Their customer support is available 24 hour, 7 days, by phone or e-mail.
They
have some fabulous
recipes on their blog, I really like the look of their Medjool
date cake and I want to try the Decadent
Medjool Date Scones.
I
like that they also have a blog post called “The
Importance of Fruit Dates during Ramadan” which explores the importance of
dates in the Muslim world and their significance in Ramadan.
You
can visit their website to learn more or to order a variety of
date and date products including: almond
date rolls (I love the combination of almonds and dates and have tried it
in a Ramadan recipe here),
coconut
date rolls, date
sugar (including an
organic variation) and honey
date balsamic, the last two of which I have not heard before, so certainly
something that piqued my curiosity.
Whole Fresh Dates are also offering
15% off of your first order. Just use
the code “FIRSTDATE” when you checkout to receive your order.
