Similar to other organic food products like milk, honey and grapes, dates too, rich in a variety of minerals and vitamins can be considered as complete foods in themselves. Organic Date Paste, used in a variety of food preparations by chefs all around the world, has a rich content of minerals like potassium that are vital for human development.

Along with being used as a chief food ingredient Organic Date Paste is also used for making different types of food cubes, syrups, spreads, pastes and even alcoholic drinks.

http://www.agcommoditiesinc.com/index.htm states that in order to maximize the production of organic date paste, farmers cultivating date gardens often enrich the soils of the cultivation lands with different types of natural fertilizers and once the dates start growing they are allowed to ripen in the trees until they attain their full maturity. Once the dates fully mature they are subjected to a series of treatments like cleaning, drying, moisturizing, polishing, and sterilizing before they are pressed, graded and packaged into independent units. Boiled and de-seeded dates are further processed for preparing Organic Date Paste.

Man had known the natural curative properties of dates from a very long time.
