Anatomy of a Hot Date
Take one apart.
Four whole ingredients, stacked by hand in this order. Nothing else goes in.
- 01
The shell
Single-origin 75% dark chocolate, dipped by hand. All 2g of the added sugar is in here, and nowhere else.
- 02
The fill
Spiced sunflower seed butter, piped in by hand while the date is still open.
- 03
The fruit
One whole California Medjool date, pitted by hand. Whole fruit means the fiber stays in, about 2g a date.
- 04
The finish
Single-origin spice through the butter, flaked sea salt on the shell. Coffee Dates take organic espresso in place of the spice.

Real dates. Not paste.
Most "chocolate covered dates" are date paste rolled into a ball. Ours are whole Medjool dates, pitted by hand and stuffed. You can see the pit scar. That is the point.

Why a whole date
A Medjool date is fruit. We left it that way.
A Medjool date arrives with fiber, minerals and vitamins already in it. Grind it into paste and the fiber breaks down. We pit the whole fruit by hand and stuff it, so what the date came with stays in. The only sugar we add is about 2 grams a date. That comes from the chocolate.
-
18 bioactive compounds and micronutrients
9 minerals, 6 vitamins and 2 plant bioactives, across the four ingredients. Vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, kosher, non-GMO.
-
About 2g added sugar a date
It comes from the dark chocolate. The rest of the sweetness is the date's own.
-
6g fiber a serving, because it is still whole fruit
One pouch, three whole dates, pitted by hand and stuffed. Grind fruit into paste and the fiber breaks down. We never do.
-
The date's glycemic index sits around 55
Low to medium. Fiber slows sugar absorption. Portion size still counts.
-
Nothing in there to pad it out
No palm oil, no sugar substitutes, no artificial flavors or colors, no preservatives, no fillers.
Every number here comes off our own ingredient and nutrition page, where the full label lives.
