Sunshine Delights Dates

Sunshine Delights Dates: pitted dates and nothing else

Sunshine Delights Dates are soft pitted dates in a 100 g resealable bag from Sunshine Delights, the Hamburg dried fruit brand. One ingredient, grown in Saudi Arabia, stoned and packed. No coating, no syrup, no added sugar, just the naturally sweet, caramel-like fruit that has been eaten across the desert for a few thousand years. No added sugars; the sweetness is the fruit's own, naturally occurring.

Why this one

One ingredient: the shortest list in the range. If you read labels, this one takes two seconds.

High in fibre and low in salt: a dense little snack that fits in any pocket.

Soft and sticky: a proper eating date, not the dry, papery kind.

Resealable bag: open, take a couple, close. Use within a month of opening.

How it is made

The dates are grown in Saudi Arabia, harvested ripe, stoned and packed. Every care is taken to remove the stones, but as with any pitted date a fragment can occasionally remain, so eat with a little attention.

Taste and texture

Deep caramel sweetness with a hint of toffee, soft and chewy all the way through. This is the richest of the plain Sunshine Delights fruits and the one most riders reach for on a long day out. If you want the same date with a chocolate edge, look at the Dippies Dark Chocolate Dates and Cashew.

Who it is for

Cyclists and runners who want something natural instead of gels. Anyone cutting out sweets but not sweetness. Home bakers who need good dates for energy balls and smoothies.
