Overview
Overview and key benefits.
A practical summary for procurement, R&D and QA teams comparing application fit, format and processing requirements.
Date seed coffee uses the kernels rather than the sweet flesh of the date. The DF 100 grade is a dark-brown powder with coffee-like flavour and aroma, intended for coffee and cocoa replacement trials. Evaluate it on its own or as part of your complete formulation.
Country of origin: Iran. 100% natural, with no additives.

Technical notes
How it’s made
Date seeds are separated from the flesh, roasted and finely ground for brewing. Roasting develops their toasted character; grinding exposes more of the seed material to water during brewing.
Roasted depth suits standalone brews and blended drinks, offering a seed-based flavour direction distinct from the sweetness of date flesh.

Questions
Ingredient questions
Is this an instant beverage powder?
No. The listed DF 100 grade is insoluble in water. Trial extraction, filtration and sediment with your intended preparation method before defining the finished beverage.
How does date seed coffee differ from date sugar?
Date seed coffee is made from date kernels. Date sugar (date powder) is made from dried, milled date flesh. They are separate ingredients with different roles in a formulation.
Can the DF 100 grade be used in cocoa replacement trials?
The grade is described as a coffee and cocoa powder replacer. Set the inclusion rate through trials of flavour, colour, texture and processing in the complete recipe.
