Chocolate Coated Red Dates
Chocolate coated Red Dates snacks have launched in the UK.
Manufactured by London-based Abakus Foods, the product is made of the superfruit jujube, otherwise known as Red Dates, coated with premium dark chocolate.
Hailing from ‘the Far East’, Red Dates contain 18 out of 24 essential amino acids which help tissue repair and recovery. In addition, the fresh jujube fruit contains 20 times more vitamin C than citrus fruit.
“Taking the best of both worlds, we have created a fusion of East and West, and made it into a nutritious snack that excites both the body and the palette,” said Abakus Foods founder Helen Wang.
“We are really proud to be the first company to have produced the Chocolate Coated Red Dates and how delicious they turned out.”
The low calorie, vegan friendly snacks join Abakus Foods’ existing range of jujube fruit products, including Soft Pitted Red Dates, Crunchy Red Dates Crisps, and Nut Stuffed Red Dates.
The Chocolate Coated Red Dates have an RRP of £1.49 (€1.73) per pack and are available in Ocado, Grape Tree, Whole Foods, Planet Organic, Revital, as well as online.
