Use of Date Paste by food makers

[Guest guest]

Taste coupled with essential nutrients…dates has it all. And do we

need to say more, why Americans are going gaga over date paste,

nowadays. The date palm itself is believed to have originated in the

deserts of Arabia in the exotic lands near the Nile and the

Euphrates. The fruits themselves have retained the exotic feel of

their birthplace even today. Besides their exquisite taste dates are

a huge store of valuable nutrients like Proteins, Carbohydrates and

Fiber besides a host of minerals like Ash, Calcium, Iron,

Phosphorus, Potassium, Vitamin A, Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin,

Tryptophan and Ascorbic Acid. Rich yet healthy, these nutritive

advantages coupled up with the fact that dates are a natural organic

ingredient sweetener have given a great boost to its importance as a

functional ingredient in today's food industry. Thus, the Date Paste

is fast catching on as an important food ingredient in health bars

all around the world.

In today's world the demand and uses of Organic Date Paste and

Organic Date Sugar are mind-boggling. Knowing its various nutritive

properties through prevalence of websites like

http://www.agcommoditiesinc.com/index.htm, chefs all around the

world try and incorporate the Date Paste into as many health snacks,

powders and beverages as possible. However, the best form of Organic

Date Paste to use is the Organic Certified Date Paste.

Similar to other organic food products like milk, honey and grapes,

dates too, rich in a variety of minerals and vitamins can be

considered as complete foods in themselves. Organic Date Paste, used

in a variety of food preparations by chefs all around the world, has

a rich content of minerals like potassium that are vital for human

development. In fact, compared to other fruits like bananas, the

potassium content of Organic Date Paste is 25% higher while it is

free from unnecessary components like fats, cholesterol and sodium.

Along with providing a delicious taste to food preparations, date

products like date juice and Organic Date Paste also help to keep

our calorie count and blood sugar levels in check. For these

reasons, in treating obesity and irregular diet syndromes Organic

Date Paste and other date products are frequently used. Due to its

high content of dietary fibers and syrupy substances Organic Date

Paste is largely used as a thickening and gelling agent in different

types of processed food products like jams, jellies, soft cheeses,

yogurts and various confectionaries like cookies, cakes, breads and

muffins. Rich in various nutrients, from appetizers and main dishes

to desserts and beverages Organic Date Paste is today added to a

large variety of food preparations. Along with being used as a chief

food ingredient Organic Date Paste is also used for making different

types of food cubes, syrups, spreads, pastes and even alcoholic

drinks.

http://www.agcommoditiesinc.com/index.htm states that in order to

maximize the production of organic date paste, farmers cultivating

date gardens often enrich the soils of the cultivation lands with

different types of natural fertilizers and once the dates start

growing they are allowed to ripen in the trees until they attain

their full maturity. Once the dates fully mature they are subjected

to a series of treatments like cleaning, drying, moisturizing,

polishing, and sterilizing before they are pressed, graded and

packaged into independent units. Boiled and de-seeded dates are

further processed for preparing Organic Date Paste.

Man had known the natural curative properties of dates from a very

long time. Since they have a Low Glycemic Index, they can be easily

digested and provide enough carbohydrates to give you the pleasant

feeling of a filled up stomach to lat for hours! Date Sugar is a

natural sugar that is gradually becoming a popular alternative to

ordinary sugar in most health bars across the country. Besides this,

dates provide a good source of health snacks in comparison to junk

food and candy bars which are an almost guaranteed recipe for

disease like heart attacks, and diabetes since they contain a whole

lot of hydrogenated oils and refined sugars. So, in case you want to

satisfy your sweet tooth the healthy way, reach out for that bowl of

tempting Date Paste! No wonder that most health bar menus display a

large number of beverages, powders and food ingredients containing

Organic Date Sugar and Organic Certified Date Paste.

Besides this, as http://www.agcommoditiesinc.com/index.htm explains,

since dates contain a good amount of fiber they are widely used as

an organic treatment for constipation. As they have high levels of

proteins and energy giving carbohydrates and are yet easy to digest

dates are also given to patients recovering from fever during their

convalescence period. This is due to the fact that during this time

we need food that provides us with high levels of energy in a form

that is easy to digest since at this time our digestion is at an all

time low. Thus, here's saluting the ingenuity of the chefs who have

incorporated this tasty and nutritious Date Paste into their

tempting recipes.
