beverage, dairy, and liquid condiment
manufacturers

smoothies, and dairy alternatives due to its easy solubility. In sauces and

Date Chunks: Texture, Visual Appeal, and Controlled Moisture
Key Summary:
Function:
Non-clumping inclusion for dry mixes, visible fruit piece.
Process:
Lightly dusted with rice/oat flour to maintain free-flow.
Key Benefit:
Excellent textural contrast (chew factor) in granola and
cereals.
AltSugar Date Chunks (Chopped Dates) are precision-cut pieces of dried date,
engineered to maintain their form and remain non-sticky. They provide
essential
textural contrast and visual confirmation of natural fruit inclusion
in
premium products.
We use semi-dried dates, chop them to a uniform size (e.g., 6x6mm), and lightly dust
them with natural rice flour or oat flour to prevent clumping. This ensures they
flow freely on production lines and integrate perfectly into dry mixes without
impacting overall moisture content.
Industrial Advantage & Use
Date Chunks are vital for
granola, breakfast cereal, trail mix, and bakery
inclusion
markets. Their controlled moisture level ensures stability when
mixed with dry ingredients, preventing 'weeping' or premature spoilage. They allow
consumers to see and taste the whole fruit pieces.
Health & Manufacturer Benefits
Visual Integrity:
Maintains structure and
visibility
, boosting consumer perception of natural
ingredients.
Free-Flowing:
Non-clumping format
is optimal for

texture
