Dates and Agave Nectar

Craving Something Sweet?

How about something savory? Maybe a little bit of both? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Packed full of nutrients, delicious and versatile, this culinary adventure promises to be a date to remember.

Celebrated in early Egypt and Mesopotamia, dates were believed to inspire fertility and longevity, often served to the elite courts as sacred offerings. Throughout history the date palm has been recorded in hieroglyphics and scrolls, promoting immunity and eternity. Centuries later, we continue to praise these exotic little superfruits for their superior nutrient content.

Just one serving of dates is loaded with dietary fiber, muscle-building proteins, and essential omega fatty acids required for normal bodily functions. They also have minerals like potassium, iron, calcium, and magnesium, as well as B vitamins. They’re chock full of goodness and bursting with flavor!

The Sunfood Difference
Sunfood’s careful assortment of dates include Deglet Noor, Khadrawhy and Zahidi selections. Our dates are raw, organic, Non-GMO and are never compromised with additives or pesticides. Locally sourced and naturally dried, these sweet superfoods are a perfect addition to any diet. Sweetened naturally with easily digestible simple sugars, dates hardly require added sweetness to enjoy. Need Something a Little Sweeter? If your sweet tooth is calling for something extra rich, our Agave Nectar is the perfect pairing! Agave is a natural sweetener alternative to highly processed or refined sugars. It is derived from the carbohydrates present in the agave plant, native to South America. With a vanilla-like aroma and hint of maple, this nectar is truly one of a kind.

The Sunfood Difference

Our raw, certified organic, non-GMO agave nectar is low-temperature processed and minimally filtered, thus retaining its natural properties. Made from certified organic blue agave, we use state-of-the-art technology to make the least heat-exposed agave available. A delicious alternative sweetener, use Agave for your recipes, smoothies, and desserts!
