By Mike Mudhar
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.
