Supplier of premier California dates

Made with one simple ingredient—dates—date paste can be used in production of breads, muffins, cakes, cookies, nutrition or energy bars, smoothies, ice creams, sauces and/or glazes.

Desert Valley Date are the largest one-stop date shop in the US, offering medjools, deglet noor, diced dates, date paste, date rolls, and date products, all in one place.

Desert Valley Date is a vertically integrated date supplier. Our dates meet all FDA and USDA requirements and are processed and packed using stainless steel equipment in a BRC Certified facility. Our raw dates are cleaned, metal detected, hydrated or heated to reach proper moisture content and mechanically pitted.

Date Paste has an inverted sugar profile that has equal parts of glucose and fructose that has a smooth texture.

Deglet Noor Date Paste contains glucose, fructose, and sucrose in almost equal parts and has a more fibrous texture.

We employ strict quality control standards at our AA BRC certified facility, using only dates from our farms and growers. And when we say only, we mean only. No added sugars, no added chemicals, no preservatives. Just 100% dates, and 100% love!

When you use date paste in your product formulations as a filler or in place of simple sugars, you’re not just taking out plain sugar. Date paste helps make your product more appealing to the health conscious consumer by adding wholesome, natural nutrition!

The dietary fibers in dates lower the glycemic load of your dish, helping ease those blood sugar spikes and making it more appealing to consumers who are trying to watch carbohydrates. Fiber is highly correlated with chronic disease risk reduction and optimal health. When you use date paste in place of other sweeteners, you help increase your consumers’ daily intake, getting them just a bit closer to their daily recommended value!

In addition to fiber, date paste provides antioxidants and micronutrients that help enrich your creations. Compare the benefits of dates to other sugar-reducing alternatives, such as non-nutritive sweeteners that might bring down the glycemic load but don’t add any value. Healthful swaps have never been so sweet!

Macerated dates are pitted and crushed dates that are used in applications where the skin texture remains.
