SESAME (SESAME OPTION)

SEE PACK LABEL
The Sesame option contains sesame seeds, one of the 14 major food allergens. Dates themselves are not a major allergen, but the brand’s date pastes carry a “may contain peanuts, other nuts and sesame” warning, so neither tub is suitable for anyone with a peanut, nut or sesame allergy. Always read the pack label before use.
REFER TO LABEL: Ingredients and allergens may change. Always read the label before use.

Good to know
What is Medjool date paste?Medjool dates with the stones removed and the flesh worked into a thick, smooth paste. Medjool is the large, soft, caramel-flavoured variety, so the paste is richer and more toffee-like than standard date paste.
Plain or Sesame?Plain is pure Medjool paste – the all-rounder for baking, fillings and spreading. Sesame is the same paste studded with whole sesame seeds for a nutty crunch – lovely sliced with coffee or spread on warm bread. The Sesame tub contains sesame.
Does it contain added sugar?The brand lists only dates – plus sesame seeds in the sesame version – so the sweetness comes from the fruit itself. Dates naturally contain sugars. Please check the pack label for the definitive ingredients list.
Can I bake with it instead of sugar?Yes – swap it for sugar roughly like for like and reduce the other liquid in the recipe a little, as the paste is moist. It also works as a maamoul and date-cookie filling.
How should I store it after opening?Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, keep the lid on and use within a few weeks; keeping it in the fridge keeps it fresher for longer, and it can also be frozen in portions.
Is it the same as your Madina Date Paste 1kg?No – this is made with Medjool dates and comes in 700g tubs, plain or with sesame. The 1kg/5kg Madina Date Paste is the standard date paste for bulk baking.
What is the best before date?It is printed on the pack. If you need a particular date, please message us before you order.
How is it delivered?Free UK delivery. Carefully packed and sent as a tracked parcel.
