Dates are the oldest cultivated fruit in the world, thought to be indigenous to Northern Africa and Mediterranean. Their name originates from Greek word daktulos meaning finger, thus alluding to their shape. Dates are nowadays very popular due to their exquisite nutritional profile.

To preserve the juiciness of dates without the addition of artificial ingredients, these Barni dates were first sun-dried and naturally preserved to eliminate any possibility of the presence of bacteria. The dates are then vacuumed in quality plastic packaging to ensure there is no contact with the air. When packaged in this way, Barni dates maintain their freshness for a very long time.

Dates are very sweet (containing 55% of sugar while fresh, becoming much more concentrated when dried), and mixed with water they are perfect sugar substitute. They offer excellent natural source of energy. Unlike refined carbohydrates, level of energy will not drop soon after dates are consumed. All due to the fact that sugar from dates is naturally connected with soluble fibre, therefore sugar release is much slower.
