Our sundried Pitted Dates (Ontpitte Dadels) are the everyday workhorse of the Keimoes Padstal date range — affordable, versatile, and incredibly handy because the hard work of pitting has already been done for you. Grown in the warm, dry climate of the Northern Cape and sun-dried to a deep mahogany sweetness, these dates are ready to eat, stuff, chop, or blend straight from the bag.
Toss a handful into your morning oats, chop into a tagine, blend with almond butter for a no-bake tart base, or enjoy as a guilt-free lunchbox treat. At this price per kilogram, the 1kg bag is exceptional value for home bakers.
