Use of Date Paste by food makers   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1214 of 1911 |
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.
