i make homemade protein bars with dates and nuts. I have a terrible time because of the stickiness of the dates. How will this handle dates?

haven't tried but is pretty powerful. I did a fine dice on onions and peppers with 3 brief pulses. with the nuts for "traction" i think this littte beauty woulld work

That's a good question that I don't know. Do the dates have pits? Without pits, and maybe some liquid, I would think it would.

When chopping stickier foods, such as dates, it may be necessary to stop the chopper and scrape the sides of the unit with a spoon or spatula before you continue chopping.

My personal experience, the motor gets gummed up and breaks way too easily as it cannot handle much other than squishy vegetables and fruits. I would save your money and go for a food processor that has a better motor and blade mechanic.

The same as it is in any other food product. I have found they are fine to use after the date if stored in a cool area. I have a wondsrful no cook fudge recipe that I use this liq. Chocolate from nestle's in. I try to order enough to do for several seasons. This is so simple to use. I absolutely love this product!!

I'm not using my Dash daily yet, and I don't know about nuts in it. I tried to bring coconut flakes into flour, and didn't consider the moisture, I got a great paste! It's pretty powerful, I would think it would do the job great.

When I only made a half batch the consistency wasn't as nice so I sent back to making the full pint. It lasts for some time so I don't mind having leftovers for berries or hot chocolate when I'm in the mood.

the date is usually on the bottle label.. however they just are guidelines, not necessarily "drop-dead-throw 'em away" dates. Ultimately the choice is yours.

Never bothered to look for freshness dates. It has always been (Cruz De Malta) best quality and I do not believe mate can get stale.

Specifically in the Drogheria & Alimentari, it is a date before which the flavor would be guaranteed at its peak. I have however actually used a few jars of this that were "lost" and were 6 years after their data - and their quality was not really affected. Of course, you should be careful to consider that it was at least stored in a dry environment as moisture could cause spoilage - but it would be noticeable. If it's within a couple years and shelf stored it should be ok IMHO.

I accidentally froze some. I was interrupted and put my bowl of ice cream in the freezer when I answered the front door. When I got back to the ice cream a few hours later the boba on top were frozen solid. they didn't stay frozen very long but were delicious frozen. They do stick together frozen.

They may get a little extra sticky. I would do a Kind bar or Lara bar instead. Maybe if you chilled them ahead of time they may hold a little better. They won't melt but the honey will definitely get stickier than they already are.

Maybe try doing 1/2 a scoop twice per day instead of 1 full scoop to dilute the taste and texture more. I personally put mine into my raw protein shake every morning with fresh fruit blend it in my blender and you can barely taste it. I hope this helps you out a bit... It's awesome stuff don't give up just try some different ways to make it work. I have noticed a huge difference since taking this product I highly recommend it!!!

Absolutely no problem, keep the jar closed and you will be happy with the quality. Keep it in thd fridge, when you serve it, not too much sifup. Have fun

Ok, here is my third attempt to answer this as my phone is having problems. I've used it in cold recipes like pudding, mostly protein shakes. I imagine you can stir it into foods that are hot, but am not sure what would happen if you baked it like in a cupcake. However, there are unflavored proteins you can stir into soups, stews, etc.

After the expiration date, the bars tend to get hard and stale. Make sure the expiration date is later than when you should finish all of them. Otherwise, ask for new ones -- I did once, and they immediately sent me new ones at no cost or hassle.

This was a solid at my room temp which was less than 80 degrees. If you allow your food to cool off too much, you may end up with solid pieces of coconut. When I put it in my shakes that's exactly what happened.

Best to check the sell by date or when open to use add liquid and taste and if taste rancid toss it in the bin. If you ate wheatgerm before then you will know the difference whether it is good or bad. Keep in freezer all the time.

I've just started using this product. My first order was the 2-pound bag. Since I was baking for Christmas, I used it up very quickly, within 10 days. I didn't keep it in the refrigerator and it seemed fine. My 5-pound bag arrived yesterday. I wasn't planning to refrigerate it, but maybe I should. When nuts are whole (not ground into powder), all the nuts except walnuts are fine at room temperature. Walnuts go rancid much more easily and should be kept in the fridge. Whole wheat flour also goes rancid easily, and I have always kept it refrigerated. I transfer the flour into quart-sized canning jars first.

The Paleo wraps I use have a 9 month best before date stored at room temperature. Once opened I would say a few days in the frig. They are shipped in an air tight package and become a bit brittle if unused and exposed to air - much like a regular tortilla would be.
