Description
Richnut Date Paste is a 1-kg product packaged in a lidded bucket, with dates as its sole ingredient. The dates are pitted and pureed; no sugar, glucose syrup, preservatives, or flavorings are added. It is used in two ways in professional kitchens: as a sweetener and as a spreadable filling.

What does “no added sugar” mean? Does it mean “sugar-free”?
No—let’s clarify this distinction from the start, because if it’s used incorrectly on the menu, it can mislead customers. No sugar has been added to the product; however, dates are a fruit that naturally contains a high amount of sugar. In other words, date paste is not a sugar-free product; it is a fruit puree with no added sugar. It is correct to state on your menu that it is “no added sugar” or “contains no refined sugar”; it is incorrect to call it “sugar-free.” It cannot be used in claims related to diabetes.
How much date paste should be used instead of sugar in the recipe?
In practice, the starting point is almost exactly the same by weight, but date paste absorbs water; you’ll need to adjust the liquid in the recipe accordingly.
| Granulated sugar in the recipe | Initial equivalent | Other settings |
|---|---|---|
| 100 g | 100–130 g date paste | Reduce the liquid in the recipe by 15–20 ml |
| 250 g | 250–325 g | Reduce the liquid by 40–50 ml, and let the dough rest for a while |
These are starting ratios, not manufacturer’s instructions. The type of flour, the oven, and the dough’s moisture content vary from one bakery to another—bake a small batch of the first batch and test it in your own oven. The safest approach is to substitute half the sugar first, rather than all of it.
In what situations does date paste NOT replace sugar?
Knowing this from the start prevents waste in the kitchen. Date paste:
- It won’t caramelize. The cookie’s crispy edges and caramel notes come from the sugar; the date paste keeps the cookie soft.
- It cannot perform structural functions. It cannot replace sugar in meringues, caramel, hard candy, confectionery, and syrups.
- It is not neutral. It imparts a distinct date aroma and a dark brown color; it changes the color of light-colored creams and pastries.
- In recipes that require whisking, it doesn’t incorporate air like sugar does.
Works best in: moist cakes, brownies, tart fillings, energy balls and bars, granola, smoothies, breakfast spreads, and yogurt toppings.
What is the difference between date paste, whole dates, and date syrups?
| Date Paste | Whole dates | Agave / maple syrup | Granulated sugar | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Preparation | Ready to use; scoop out with a spoon | Must be pitted and mashed | Ready, smooth | Ready |
| Texture enhancement | Produces a dense, moist fruit | Patchy texture | None, only liquid | None |
| Fruit Fiber | Protected | Preserved | None | None |
| Color Effect | Darkens | Parts are visible | Light | Neutral |
| Caramelization | None | None | Partially | Fully |
| Labor Force | Lowest | Highest | Low | Low |
In the kitchen, the real benefit lies in saving labor: making date paste involves removing the pits, soaking the dates, and processing them in a food processor. Scooping it out of the bucket with a spoon eliminates these three steps.
Which businesses is it suitable for?
Cafes and bakeries offering healthy menus, hotel breakfasts featuring a “no refined sugar” display, kitchens producing energy bars and snacks, gym cafes, and the dessert menus of restaurants. A 1-kg bucket is equivalent to the volume used by a kitchen that produces desserts several times a week.
Which products are ordered along with this one?
- Peanut butter — the classic pairing with date paste in energy ball and bar recipes
- Tahini halva and tahini—they’re often served together on a breakfast plate
- Granola and raisins — in bar and bowl recipes
- Oat milk — a base for smoothies and bowls
- Açaí powder and matcha — they are in the same menu group

Information not provided by the manufacturer: the nutritional facts table, shelf life, and consumption period after opening are not explicitly stated by the manufacturer. We do not provide estimates for these values— please refer to the label on the packaging, and if necessary, request the technical data sheet from your sales representative.
How should it be stored?
General rule: Store in a sealed container in a cool, dry place; refrigerate after opening. Use a clean, dry spoon to scoop from the container each time—moisture and crumbs that get into the spread will cause it to spoil faster. The spread hardens when cold; letting it sit at room temperature for a while before use makes it easier to spread. Refer to the packaging information for specific storage conditions and the expiration date.

No. This page describes the product’s ingredients, how it performs in the kitchen, and its cost. Date paste is a food product; we make no claims regarding weight loss, diabetes, disease prevention, or treatment. As noted above, although the product contains no added sugar, it does contain natural fruit sugar.
