NUD Chocolate Covered Dates, 6 pack
NUD Chocolate Covered Dates, 6 pack
Craving chocolates and soft candies but, want to avoid sugar and weird ingredients? Us too! That’s why we created our own indulgent chocolate covered dates.
We created a chocolate covered date that has only 2 ingredients (yes 2!!) and no shellacs, glazes, or sweeteners.
These have a thin 100% dark chocolate and cacao coating. Because there are no sweeteners in the chocolate, we don’t suggest sucking it off, or letting it melt in your mouth for a long period (it will be bitter), unless you are hardcore like that! We like to chew these so the cacao mixes with the sweetness of the date.
Keep away from direct heat and high temperatures, as the chocolate coating will melt.
How To Use
These are chewy and addictive and best eaten right out of the bag.

FAQ
Are your products safe for those with nut allergies?
Our products are made in our own dedicated facility on our own equipment. We have no tree nuts or peanuts allowed within our facility, or manufacturing line. We do currently receive our ingredients from suppliers that store ingredients within a warehouse that can have both nuts and non-nut ingredients together but, everyone along the supply chain works to keep them separate with the utmost care and allergen control procedures, for which we have statements for.
Of course determining what you put in your body is ultimately up to you though.
Please Note: we do use sesame and coconut on all equipment.
What quantifies the price for your products?
When it comes to food, you get what you pay for.
Since our products are all made by hand, in small batches, with organic, raw ingredients and superfoods, within Toronto, these don’t come cheap.
Also, because we dehydrate to maintain nutrition, this process takes between 24-36hrs per batch.
We are peeling and chopping all ingredients by hand, like you would at home, which is very labour intensive (and thus expensive).
We could also explain how certain agricultural products receive high subsidies to make them cheap (i.e. corn, beef, soy, etc) but, we won’t get all political here. We trust you can do your own research ;)
A better question, is why are other foods so cheap?!
How many pieces of product come in each package?
The product density changes by flavour and can fluctuate per batch, as everything is hand made with no machines.
Also to note, instead of focusing on quantity, we look at quality and nutrient density you receive per bag. In a comparison to “normal/processed snacks” our products are so nutrient dense, that per bite, you are getting macro and micro nutrients to feed your body, while also stabilizing blood sugar and satisfying hunger. No $2 snack chips will do that.
What are your shipping times?
We typically ship orders out within 2 business days of receiving an order.
Within the GTA, transit time is usually 1 day from date of shipment.
Within Ont/Quebec, transit time is usually 2-3 days
To the western provinces, or Atlantic provinces, it can be around 3-5 days for transit time.
We ship all across Canada (incl. the territories and PO boxes), as well as all across the USA.
For shipments to the USA, these can take from 5-10 business days transit time but, keep in mind we are crossing a border and customs can at times hold up orders, at US customs discretion. This is completely out of our control.
Note, keep track of duties and import taxes for international orders. These are not within our control, or our responsibility for US-bound orders.
What is your return policy?
We can not accept back food items and re-sell them for safety reasons.
If you are not satisfied for any reason with your order, notify us within 15 days of receipt of your order and we will work to make it right. Contact us at: [email protected] for any concerns regarding your order.
Why does the sugar amount seem so high in the nutrition facts table for the “Banana Crisps” and the “chocolate covered bananas”?
Firstly, as a holistic nutritionist founded company, we must say you should never reduce a product (or any food for that matter) to only it’s numbers in the Nutrition Facts Table. Always look at quality (aka the ingredients), over quantity (aka the nutrition facts).
There are no sweeteners added to either the fruit, or the cacao/chocolate coating. All the sugars reflected in the label, are from the dehydrated fruit only.
Did you know that one apple has about 22g of sugar and only 3g fiber?! Now we are not saying apples are bad, but, we are trying to make a point…
These come packed with of fiber and micronutrients, which slows the absorption of sugar into the blood stream. This means you will not get a massive sugar spike, or energy crash AND you will have the benefit of feeling more satiated longer between meals (bonus!).
Fun Fact: did you know that nutrition facts are often not accurate anyway, where the ingredient declarations have to be. So, what would you rather base your food choices off of, ingredients, or possibly incorrect numbers?
Why do you limit times of year when this item can be shipped?
Due to extremely warm temperatures in certain destinations, as well as certain times of year, we prefer to not have our chocolate items melt uncontrollably during the shipping process. Since we use no stabilizers in our chocolate coating and we prefer to be conscientious about our environmental impact, we prefer to reduce the use of packaging materials used in shipping such as dry ice, freezer packs, etc., which are traditionally used to keep items cold during shipping.
