Frequently asked questions
Are these vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free? Yes. Hot Dates are vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, dairy-free, non-GMO, and kosher. They contain soy from the dark chocolate, and they are made in a kitchen that also handles peanuts and tree nuts.
How much sugar do they have? About 2g of added sugar per serving, plus the natural sugar of a whole Medjool date, balanced by fiber.
Do dates spike blood sugar? Dates have a low to medium glycemic index, around 55, because their fiber slows sugar absorption. Pairing the date with sunflower butter slows the rise further. Keep portions small if you watch your blood sugar.
How many are in this pack? 8 pouches, each with 3 whole California Medjool dates.
How should I store them? Keep them in a cool, dry place. They do not need refrigeration, but chilling keeps the chocolate firm in warm weather.
Whole dates, not paste
Most "date" snacks are ground-up date paste pressed into a shape. We hand-stuff whole California Medjool dates, so you get the real fruit, fiber and all.
- A whole Medjool date you can see and bite
- Natural fiber intact, which slows the sugar
- About 2g added sugar, no syrups or fillers
- Hand-stuffed and dipped in small batches
- Ground date paste pressed into a shape
- Fiber broken down in processing
- Often added sugars or oils to bind
- Mass-produced, uniform texture
