Dates, Medjool Dates and Dried Dates for Snacking and Baking:

Dates are a naturally sweet dried fruit enjoyed as a snack, in home baking and as an ingredient in a variety of sweet and savoury recipes. The Smartfox NZ collection includes Medjool dates, Deglet Noor dates, whole pitted dates, chopped dates and bulk diced dates from brands including Natural Delights, Tasti, Cinderella, Smart Choice, Gilmours and Yolo.

With pack sizes ranging from 200g snack portions to 10kg catering quantities, the selection caters to everyday household use, home bakers and commercial kitchens.

Medjool Dates for Snacking and Recipes:

Medjool dates are known for their soft, fleshy texture and rich, caramel-like sweetness. They can be enjoyed on their own, stuffed with other ingredients or chopped into desserts and baking mixtures.

The collection includes Natural Delights pitted Medjool dates in 227g and 340g packs, alongside a 226g snack pack. Yolo Medjool dates are offered in 250g and 450g packs, while Freshlife Gourmet Medjool dates include a 200g unpitted option.

Check whether the dates are pitted or unpitted before selecting them for your recipe.

Pitted Dates and Deglet Noor Dates:

For everyday cooking and baking, the range includes Cinderella pitted dates in 400g packs, Woolworths pitted dates in 500g packs and Farm By Nature whole pitted dates in 3kg quantities.

Tasti Soft and Juicy Deglet Noor dates are available in 250g packs. Deglet Noor dates offer a different texture and flavour profile from Medjool dates, making them another option for snacking, baking and food preparation.

Chopped and Diced Dates for Baking:

Pre-cut dates are convenient when preparing recipes that require smaller, evenly distributed pieces of fruit.

The collection includes Macro chopped dates in 200g packs, Smart Choice chopped dates in 1kg and 5kg quantities, and Gilmours diced dates in 3kg packs.

For larger-scale food preparation, Icelandic diced dates are available in 10kg quantities. These products suit date loaves, muffins, cakes, slices, puddings and other baked goods.

Choosing the Right Dates:

When selecting dates, consider the variety, preparation style and quantity required. Medjool dates are particularly suitable for eating whole or stuffing, while pitted dates eliminate the need to remove stones before preparation.

Chopped and diced dates are practical for baking, especially when preparing larger batches.
