Date Seed Powder for Chocolate & Confectionery

BABER’s Alkalized and Roasted date seed powders offer distinct color and roasted profiles to consider in chocolate and confectionery formulation trials.

Application overview

A formulation-led approach to chocolate

Chocolate and confectionery products span different colors, flavor directions, and recipe structures. Date seed powder may be evaluated in selected products as part of a formulation trial.

Alkalized offers a lighter-brown profile for broader food applications. Roasted has a darker appearance and a deeper roasted profile. Neither grade is presented as a complete cocoa replacement.

Product selection

Start with the target product characteristics, then test the grade in the intended recipe. Product fit is formulation-specific.
