We love to try new foods. Some are great. Some don’t measure up and some become staples in our kitchen. See what you think.
Wanna Date? is a date spread that is a very interesting product and offers a nice alternative to fruit butters, jams or jellies. Wanna Date? was conceived by a young entrepreneur as a sweet alternative to sugary options. It comes in 4 flavors, in a 9-ounce jar – Chocolate, Cinnamon, Pumpkin Spice, and Vanilla
Each flavor is made with just 5 ingredients: dates, water, organic cane sugar, citric acid plus a flavor for each variety. Since dates are naturally sweet, there are only 2 grams of added sugar in each serving, 1 tablespoon (30 calories).
Wanna Date? is vegan, gluten-free, dairy free and nonGMO. In addition to enjoying a spoonful right from the jar, Wanna Date? can be used with peanut butter, on toast, stirred into yogurt or oatmeal, spread on fresh fruit, added to a cheese platter, spread on pancakes or used in any other creative way you can come up with.

The wannadate website states that there’s no added sugar, and they don’t list sugar as an ingredient. Yet, you state that there are 2 grams of added cane sugar. Please clarify. Thank you.
I was concerned too because i found a website that also listed that it may contains nuts. But they recently switched to their own facility and now there is no added sugar!!! Not only that but it’s completely nut free now as they don’t make anything else in the new facility.
Products frequently reformulate. The samples we received in the spring of 2019 still contained a very small amount of organic cane sugar which has since been removed. That is why we always provide a link to the brand’s website so that you can access the most updated information.
