Are these dates coated with sugar? I was going to purchase some of the Sun Maid Brand until I read that they are.

Hi, Robert -No, these are quite sweet, but they are NOT coated with sugar. They are as naked as the day they were born. Picked. Whatever.I think you're referring to my favorite Christmas treat from childhood, a date with a quarter-pecan inserted, and then rolled in pure tooth-corrupting sugar. Makes me wonder how I survived...;)Anyway, I will offer some specifics:1) Some are dryer than you will like; these chop nicely into oatmeal or other fare.2) Some are plump and juicy.3) Use a paper towel, because your fingers WILL be sticky. Or use a toothpick, I suppose.4) Get the kids hooked on these, and you'll never buy another KitKat.Hope that helps! Hi, Robert -No, these are quite sweet, but they are NOT coated with sugar.

No. They are not. Make sure that you buy dates that are organic (like they were just picked from the tree). Eat to your hearts content of raw organic fruits and vegetables. Your body will love you for it as you will love it to! Hope this helps. :)

No, they are uncoated. I find if I microwave them for a few seconds, the heat 'melts' them a little inside, giving them an extra sweet 'caramel' flavor.

No, the Marianis are not. But if you have the option to get a different type, I would. These were very disappointing.

They are not coated. I found them to be quite good! I've used them in baking & as is with some almond butter, coconut butter, or just stuffed with a pecan!

I'm sorry, but I can't shed any light on this question. I can tell you that it is just as good as Lion's Brand produced in India.It is very sweet, but I don't believe they add sugar. It is just the natural date product. Please contact The Date Lady for your answer and confirmation of my statement. Best of Luck.

Sorry to say yes Mary. And I would not have bought them if they had given that info on the order site. I either buy the organic Italian or pinons (also organic) from the South West. Won't but these again for philosophical and safety reasons.

They do not look like it, nor taste like it. I believe they do not have added sugar. On the other hand, I found them to be excellent.

There is no added sugar in this product. The sugars are naturally occurring in the product. Many foods have natural occurring sugar. This product does not have a sweet taste. Does yours taste sweet? My purchase has slightly different nutrition facts. I think it's because off the specific harvest. If you would like more information I would contact the company. They are very, very nice.

Mine were not dehydrated but they were brown. Are they a little slimy? Then likely they were in brown sugar solution to ship. I have been so happy with my grains- and have found that they do especially well in brown sugar/spring water/molasses solution as suggested by the sender's recipe. (Did you get it with the grains?)

Yes, these do have some added sugar, which is how these are typically sold due to their tartness.

These do not have added sugar. they are very sweet & tasty as they are. I have enjoyed them for a very long time. They last for a long time as well. I hope this is helpful.

As far as I know, they are not coated. I have never had a problem with any of their pans and I have many, because I am in the bakery business.

there is no sugar, oil or any added ingredients. As far as I know they are not unsulphered since I have never read that about them.

No sulfites listed on the packaging. However, they do have sugar and sunflower oil. Way too much sugar for my liking.

March 2017. Sunny Maid is always fresh. They are the BESt tasting. We have used them consistently for fifteen years.

I'm not sure what they're coated with, but I've never had a problem with sticking. Cookies usually leave a little bit of residue, but I've never had a problem getting them off the sheet. These are absolutely amazing for anything -- you won't regret this purchase! I've been using them for years and could never go back to ordinary sheets. Perfectly even every time.

I believe the peanut butter ones had 8gm sugar. I looked on line for it. The previous post info was from bars I have on hand.
