How is date puree made?
Fruit purees are made by applying gentle heat treatment to the fruit, breaking down fibrous matter in order that it can be passed through a sieve to create a thick and luxurious paste.
This minimal processing ensures both the distinct taste and the excellent nutritional profile of the dates remain intact, with the puree retaining most of the vitamins and minerals found in the raw fruit.

FAQ
What is date puree used for?
Across the food and drinks manufacturing industry, date puree is used in many products including baby food, smoothies, sauces, desserts, bakery products and breakfast bars, thanks to its great nutritional profile, sweet flavour and impressively high fibre content.
How to use date puree as a sugar substitute?
Using date puree is becoming an increasingly popular way to replace refined sugars in health products. Date puree can be used as a natural sweetener, to replace granulated white sugar. Date puree doesn’t just add natural sweetness to food products, but also a variety of health benefits.
In a health-obsessed market, products that replace refined sugar with date puree could have the potential to command a higher price point, and we predict this will get even more popular in years to come.
Is date puree good for you?
Kiril Mischeff’s date puree undergoes minimal processing, and therefore manages to retain the goodness and nutritional value of the fresh fruit.
Fruit purees are more viscous than juices because they contain pulp. The benefit of this extra pulp is that the puree contains a high amount of fibre. Dates are famous for their high fibre count, which means they are great for aiding digestion.
Date puree is also a great source of vitamin K and minerals including potassium, calcium and magnesium, which are all great for bone health.
Many fruit purees are processed and full of preservatives and added sugar, leaving them high in calories, but Kiril Mischeff date puree is unprocessed and naturally produced, making it a great healthy option.
