Madina Date Seed Powder (Date Seed Coffee) 200g

Madina Date Seed Powder from Madina Dates is finely ground date seeds (date pits) – the base for date seed coffee, a naturally caffeine-free hot drink with an earthy, nutty, coffee-like taste, long enjoyed in the Middle East. Choose Plain – 100% ground date seeds, nothing added – or Cardamom & Cloves, warmly spiced in the style of Arabic coffee and ready to brew.

Brew a cup in a pan, coffee pot or cafetière and enjoy it black, with milk or a plant milk, or sweetened with honey or date syrup – a coffee-style drink you can have in the evening without the caffeine. The Plain powder can also be stirred into smoothies, yoghurt and porridge or added to bakes. Each 200g pouch makes around 40–65 cups.
