What are Nustino Bites flavoured dates?

Before we talk about this new, innovative snack, it is worth pausing for a moment at the base of the product itself. Dates are the fruit of the date palm (Phoenix dactylifera), which has been cultivated for thousands of years mainly in the Middle East and North Africa. For centuries they have been a staple of the diet in those regions, and today they have gained popularity around the world. Consumers who care about a balanced diet often ask themselves are dates healthy and are dried dates healthy? Given the current state of knowledge, the answer is a definite yes, as long as we eat them in moderation.

If you are looking for top-quality natural products, you will find a wide choice in the dates category in our shop. Before you reach for them, though, let us look at their profile. Many people wonder how many calories dates have. On average it is around 270-280 kcal per 100g.

When we look closely at dates and their nutritional value, we can see that they are above all an excellent source of easily digestible carbohydrates. What is more, they contain vitamins (especially valuable B vitamins) and minerals such as potassium, magnesium and copper. These general properties of dates mean that the fruit is appreciated by athletes as a natural, quick boost of energy.

💬 Scientific source: L. Stojanovska et al., Soluble and Insoluble Dietary Fibre in Date Fruit Varieties: An Evaluation of Methods and Their Implications for Human Health, Foods, 2023.
Analyses of the composition of dates confirm that the fruit is a rich, natural source of carbohydrates and dietary fibre (mainly insoluble fibre). This makes dates a valuable and highly nutritious part of the daily diet.

Soft dates in a special form

Before we move on to the newest products on the market, let us focus on the classic form of this fruit. Ordinary dried dates have an extremely soft, slightly chewy texture that literally melts in the mouth. What sets them apart is a high content of natural simple sugars. It is thanks to these that they gain a deep, strongly caramel-like and distinctive flavour, so prized in many cuisines around the world.

The large amount of natural sweetness means that this fruit can successfully replace traditional sweets in the diet. When looking for inspiration and wondering how to eat dried dates, we most often come across recipes that suggest adding them to morning porridge, blending them into a smooth paste for vegan baking or making popular “power balls” from them. Ordinary pitted dried dates work perfectly in these roles, adding variety to any sweet snack.

It is also worth looking at this fruit from a broader perspective. If we look closely at dried dates, the health properties and glycaemic parameters of this fruit may pleasantly surprise you. Many people worry that such a sweet snack will have a negative effect on the body's sugar balance. Despite their high sweetness, when eaten in moderation we do not have to give them up in a balanced diet.

💬 Scientific source: A. E. Butler et al., Effect of Date Fruit Consumption on the Glycemic Control of Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized Clinical Trial, Nutrients, 2022.
Clinical studies suggest that, despite the high content of natural carbohydrates, moderate consumption of dates is safe and does not have a negative effect on glycaemic parameters. The analyses show that their presence in the diet does not worsen blood sugar control, which makes them a much smarter alternative to highly processed sweets.

What is more, the natural form of this fruit is much more than just energy and fibre. If we look deeper into dried dates, their phytochemical properties point to the presence of valuable antioxidants. Scientific research confirms that they contain polyphenols and flavonoids. These are compounds that may support the body's natural immunity and help neutralise the harmful effects of free radicals.

Dates in a peanut butter powder coating

With such an excellent, natural base, various commercial modifications of this fruit gradually began to appear on the market. Today, in the range of many shops, we can easily find all kinds of flavoured dates. Most often these are classic coated dates (for example in a thick layer of chocolate or toffee), fruit covered in hard sugar shells, and fruit generously drenched in honey or syrups. Although this sounds appetising, such solutions very often rely on hardened palm fats and large quantities of added white sugar, which completely ruins the original, valuable profile of the fruit.

The plant-based brand Nustino took a completely different approach. It used top-quality pitted dates but, instead of covering them in heavy masses, chose subtle innovation. That is how Nustino Bites dates were created, delicious dates in a peanut coating. The whole secret is that the base of the outer coating is defatted peanut butter powder.

Nustino Bites – three date flavours to choose from

We already know what a valuable base these naturally sweet fruits provide, so it is time to take a closer look at their innovative form. The Nustino Bites range offers a varied choice of flavoured dates, designed for people who are looking for convenient yet interesting everyday snacks. The creators of this series show that products with a thoughtful ingredient list do not have to be boring. On the contrary – in the right form they can successfully compete with the most refined classic sweets while keeping a much better nutritional profile.

The base of each of the three available variants is carefully selected fruit from which the stones have been removed, to make eating straight from the handy pack as comfortable as possible. What attracts the most attention, though, is the remarkable variety of flavour profiles in the coating around them. You will find intriguing compositions inspired by popular desserts – from deep sweet and salty notes, through intense nutty accents, to delicate vanilla impressions.

Whether you prefer bolder treats or are looking for a mild addition to your favourite infusion or coffee, you are sure to find something for you. We encourage you to experiment and try the whole series, so that you can easily discover your favourite flavour.

Nustino Bites Caramel Peanut – a caramel and peanut treat

The natural profile of dried dates is itself strongly reminiscent of caramel – they are extremely soft, deep in flavour and naturally sweet. The creators of the Nustino Bites range decided to use this and bring out this unique feature as much as possible, creating a composition that literally melts in the mouth. The Caramel Peanut variant is a masterful combination of a fruit base with defatted peanut butter powder, natural caramel flavouring and a pinch of salt that tempers the sweetness.

This is a proposition created especially for people who look for bold sweet and salty contrasts in their daily diet. If you love snacks reminiscent of luxury toffee pralines but care about a more thoughtful ingredient list, these dates in a peanut coating are sure to appeal to you. Each bite is a carefully designed taste experience in which fruity freshness meets rich dessert depth.

Nustino Bites Creamy Peanut Butter – a creamy peanut butter flavour

Something special has been prepared for true peanut lovers. The Creamy Peanut Butter variant is a tribute to the absolute classic, in which an intensely nutty character plays the key role, bringing to mind iconic peanut butter. In this carefully thought-out proposition, the natural sweetness of the fruit is subtly balanced by the rich, pleasantly creamy taste of the innovative coating.

Unlike traditional sweets filled with heavy creams and hardened fats, a much smarter solution has been chosen here. The base of the outer layer is defatted peanut butter powder.

What makes Nustino Bites dates stand out?

The snack market offers a huge choice, but finding a product that combines excellent taste, a convenient form and a thoughtful nutritional profile can be a challenge. Nustino Bites dates are an extremely interesting proposition for people looking for a more varied menu. They are not just sweet, dried dates: they also come with an innovative, flavoured coating and a handy doypack that you can easily take anywhere. Above all, there is a transparent approach to the ingredients used. Let us take a closer look at the most important features that make the new range of Nustino Bites products stand out so strongly from traditional sweets.

No added sugar

One of the key advantages of the products in this range is no added white sugar in the production process. All of the deep sweetness you taste from the first bite comes solely from the sugars naturally present in the fruit itself. This means you can enjoy a truly dessert-like taste while effectively avoiding artificially sweetened bars or commercial chocolates.

It is worth remembering an important distinction from the field of dietetics, however. The label no added sugar does not mean that a product is completely free of sugars (sugar-free), or that it is low in calories. Dried fruit is naturally rich in simple carbohydrates (such as glucose and fructose). This makes it a great, quick source of energy for the body, but its consumption should be taken into account in your overall daily calorie balance.

High fibre content

Another aspect that speaks strongly in favour of these snacks is their nutritional profile in terms of complex carbohydrates. Dates themselves are a widely known and valued source of dietary fibre. The creators of the Nustino Bites range went a step further, however: the ingredients of the innovative coating also include additional fibre obtained from chicory root.

Thanks to this recipe, each available flavour variant offers exactly 11.1g of fibre per 100g of product. This high in fibre profile makes it a highly nutritious snack. An adequate supply of fibre in the daily diet is extremely important, because it may support the proper functioning of the digestive system and be a very valuable part of a balanced diet.

💬 Scientific source: L. Omary et al., Intrinsic chicory root fibers modulate colonic microbial butyrate-producing pathways and improve insulin sensitivity in individuals with obesity, Cell Reports Medicine, 2025.
Clinical studies indicate that fibre obtained from chicory root actively interacts with the gut microbiota, stimulating the growth of beneficial bacteria (including those of the genus Bifidobacterium). Scientists also note that its regular consumption may have a positive effect on overall cardiometabolic health, including supporting the body's insulin sensitivity.

100% plant-based

More and more people are consciously reducing or completely eliminating animal products from their daily menu. With them in mind, this innovative snack has been designed on a purely plant-based (vegan) formula. The base is fruit and nuts, which go perfectly with plant-based flavouring additions.

This makes Nustino Bites a proposition that is entirely suitable for vegans and vegetarians. There is just one important allergen note to remember: due to the specifics of the processes on the production line at the plant, traces of milk may be found in the pack. Nevertheless, the carefully developed recipe itself is based on ingredients of plant origin.

Three different flavour variants

Summing up the best of the new range, we cannot fail to mention the wonderful variety. We have prepared a short, practical overview to help you decide. Thanks to three unique flavour profiles, you can easily choose the variant that best matches your own culinary tastes and the specific situations of your day.

The overview above shows how versatile the new range from Nustino is. Whether you need a morning lift in the form of a creamy nutty flavour, afternoon relaxation with ice cream vanilla, or stronger culinary experiences with salted caramel, these exceptional flavoured dates will easily fit into your daily routine. Given their delicious profile, convenient pack and thoughtful plant-based ingredients, they can be a much smarter alternative to classic sweets.

Now that you know the main strengths of each variant, only one challenge remains. It is time to make the final decision: which flavour will you start your adventure with this innovative snack?
