Evaporated Milk

Creamy and rich, evaporated milk is a concentrated form of milk where about 60% of the water has been gently cooked away. Its velvety texture and slightly sweet, caramelized flavor make it a versatile ingredient in both savory and sweet dishes.

Medjool Dates

Medjool dates are large, golden-brown fruits known for their exceptional sweetness and soft, chewy texture. Originating from the Middle East, particularly regions like Iraq and Morocco, these dates have been cultivated for thousands of years and are now grown in places like California and the Middle Eastern countries. They offer a rich, caramel-like sweetness with hints of butterscotch and a hint of floral notes. The flesh is tender and plumps when ripe, making them almost melt-in-your-mouth enjoyable. In cooking, Medjool dates behave wonderfully as natural sweeteners, softening further when cooked and infusing dishes with their distinctive flavor. They can also absorb other flavors well, making them versatile in both sweet and savory dishes.
