Dates: Natural Sweetness for Celiacs

More and more people are paying attention to what they eat, whether for health, well-being, or conditions like celiac disease, which requires a gluten-free diet. At El Monaguillo, we are committed to conscious, safe, and healthy eating.

In today’s world, more and more people are paying attention to what they consume—whether for health, well-being, or specific dietary conditions. One of the most well-known is Celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that requires those affected to eliminate gluten from their diet. At El Monaguillo, we are committed to conscious, safe, and delicious eating. That’s why we want to highlight one of our natural stars: the date—a food as versatile as it is beneficial, and celiac.

Dates: A Complete and Safe Food

The date is the fruit of the date palm, cultivated for thousands of years in warm, arid regions of the world. Today, its consumption has gone global thanks to its sweet flavor, pleasant texture, and high nutritional value. Best of all: dates are naturally gluten-free, making them a safe option for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

In addition, dates are a rich source of dietary fiber, potassium, magnesium, iron, and natural antioxidants. Their energy content comes mainly from natural sugars like fructose and glucose, making them ideal as a snack between meals or as a healthy alternative to refined sugar in various recipes.El dátil es el fruto de la palmera datilera, cultivado desde hace miles de años en zonas cálidas y áridas del planeta. Hoy en día su consumo se ha extendido globalmente gracias a  su sabor dulce, su textura agradable y su altísimo valor nutritivo.

Date Derivatives: Sweetness That Nourishes

At El Monaguillo, we not only offer dates in their original form but also a variety of date-based products that retain their nutritional properties and are carefully crafted to remain entirely gluten-free:

  • Date Paste: Made by blending pitted dates into a dense, smooth mass. It is widely used in homemade desserts, energy bars, or fillings. It also works as a sugar substitute in many gluten-free baking recipes.
  • Date Powder: This is made by dehydrating and grinding the fruit, preserving all of its nutritional benefits. Our date powder is light brown and has the typical date flavor with a hint of caramel. It is high in fiber and naturally contains sugar, making it perfect for use in pastries, baking, smoothies, and cookies.

Food Safety as a Priority

For people with celiac disease, avoiding gluten means not only eliminating wheat, barley, or rye but also preventing cross-contamination. That’s why, at El Monaguillo, all our products are manufactured in controlled environments and closely monitored by our laboratories to ensure that our customers can enjoy them with complete peace of mind.

They can be eaten on their own, in snacks, sweet or savory recipes, in baking, smoothies, salads… They can even be stuffed with natural fillings like almonds, walnuts, and other nuts, turning them into a healthy, delicious, and satisfying snack. Dates are also suitable for vegetarian, vegan, and of course, gluten-free diets.
