Chopped Dates Paste
Description:
Chopped Date Paste, or Bakers Date Pieces, is a uniform mixture created by processing chopped dates into a dense, smooth paste-like consistency. It is crafted from various dates that are pitted, chopped, macerated, and extruded into cylindrical pieces typically measuring 7mm to 10mm in diameter and 10mm to 15mm in length. Chopped Date paste is ideal for both baking and cooking applications. Unlike standard chopped dates, chopped date paste is formed through an extrusion process and then sliced. It possesses a cohesive and sticky texture, completely free from visible chunks or pieces. The meticulous processing ensures its consistency, making it suitable for even distribution in a wide range of recipes.
The color of chopped dates paste typically ranges from a rich, dark brown to deep amber, reflecting the natural color of dates. Slight variations may occur depending on the date variety used and the processing method, but the pieces remain free from discoloration or blemishes.
Chopped dates paste is crafted exclusively from chopped dates without the addition of any additives or preservatives, preserving its natural and pure composition. It boasts a concentrated and intensely sweet flavor, characterized by the rich and distinctive taste of dates, often accompanied by caramel undertones and a delightful, natural sweetness.
Coating chopped date paste with a very light dusting of rice flour or oat flour is a common practice to prevent clumping and sticking during storage, packaging, or transportation. The coating process is tailored to the specific requirements of the product and its intended use.
Chopped dates paste is a versatile ingredient with a wide range of culinary applications. It serves as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer in recipes and finds common use in baking, confectionery, dessert-making, and the preparation of energy bars, granola, smoothies, and snacks. These pieces provide a natural source of sweetness, flavor, and a chewy texture to the final products.
Chopped dates paste is nutritionally rich, offering essential nutrients present in dates, including natural sugars, dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It is often employed as a healthier alternative to refined sugars in recipes. The product retains some of the natural moisture from the dates, making it pliable and easy to incorporate into various baked goods.
