Deglet Nour Dates: The Pantry Staple You Need

When it comes to keeping a healthy pantry, Deglet Nour dates are non-negotiable. These chewy, caramel-like morsels aren’t just a natural sweet treat—they are a powerhouse of nutrition. Think of them as little vitamins of wellness, disguised as candy.

Dates are your best friend when it comes to healthy snacks, sweet treats, and energy-boosting bites on the go.

Here’s the healthy breakdown:

Fibre: Dates are amazing for gut health! With around 9.7g of fibre per 100g (about 4 large dates), they help keep digestion regular, support your microbiome, and keep you fuller for longer.

Antioxidants: Especially flavonoids and carotenoids. These plant compounds are like your personal army of defenders, helping to reduce inflammation, fight oxidative stress, and support healthy ageing.

Mineral-Rich: Dates provide a natural source of magnesium, calcium, potassium, and even a touch of iron. These minerals are essential for energy production, strong bones, heart health, and calming the nervous system.

Nature’s Candy (without the crash): Their rich, caramel flavour makes them a perfect substitute for refined sugars in baking and snacks. And because they’re low GI, they won’t spike your blood sugar like other sweeteners. (Stick to 2–4 per day for balance.)

Oh-So-Versatile: Blend into smoothies, stuff with almond butter, chop into chia pudding, blitz into bliss balls or fold into your favourite baking recipes.

Why Choose Organic Changing Habits Dates?

At Changing Habits, we are proud to offer pure, organic dates that are wheat-free and free from contamination through pollination—a little-known but important detail for anyone with wheat sensitivities.

In many commercial date plantations, wheat is used during the pollination process, which can leave behind trace contamination in the fruit. Whether you have a diagnosed sensitivity or are simply avoiding wheat, this matters. That’s why our dates are carefully sourced and certified wheat-free from soil to shelf.

But we don’t stop there.

Our dates are also free from oils, sulphites, maltodextrin, flours, and other hidden additives that are often used in conventional dates to extend shelf life, prevent sticking or improve appearance.

With Changing Habits, you can trust you’re getting pure, whole, unprocessed dates just as nature intended.
