EDEKA Bio Deglet Nour Dates

This product consists of dried Deglet Nour dates, a variety renowned for its translucent color and honey-like flavor. These dates are sold under the EDEKA Bio brand, which is a private label of the Edeka Group, Germany's largest supermarket corporation. The 'Bio' certification indicates that the fruit is grown according to European organic farming standards, excluding synthetic pesticides and fertilizers.

While the packaging prominently features German labeling, the dates themselves are typically harvested in the 'Date Belt' of North Africa, specifically Tunisia or Algeria, before being packaged for the European market. The packaging includes the Nutri-Score, a front-of-pack nutritional labeling system widely used in Germany, where these dates typically receive a 'C' or 'D' rating due to their high natural sugar content despite being high in fiber and nutrients.
