Why Deglet Nour Dates Are Special

Known as the “queen of dates,” Deglet Nour dates are celebrated for their firm texture, amber colour, and subtle honey-like sweetness. Grown in the arid oases of Algeria, these dates are packed with natural fibre, potassium, and antioxidants — making them an ideal base for nutrient-rich snacks.

By combining them with peanut butter and pecans, you get:

  • Healthy fats for sustained energy

  • Protein to keep you full

  • Natural sugars for a quick boost without the crash

Ingredients

  • 12 Vescera Palm premium Deglet Nour dates, pitted

  • 3 tablespoons natural peanut butter

  • 12 whole pecans

  • Pinch of flaky sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dates

    Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill the cavity of each date with about ½ teaspoon of peanut butter.

  3. Top with Pecans
    Press a pecan gently into the peanut butter of each date, allowing it to stick in place.

    Sprinkle lightly with flaky sea salt for a sweet-salty contrast.

  5. Serve & Enjoy
    Arrange on a serving plate and enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
