Everything at a glance Dates covered in dark chocolate
Our dates covered in dark chocolate are the perfect companions for a movie night, a wonderful reward after a workout, and the best sweet snack after a meal. Dates are very calorie-dense, therefore they are particularly beloved by athletes. These small energy-powerhouses are able to rouse you from your postprandial slumber – and in the sweetest way! The honey-sweet taste and soft yet crunchy texture of these oriental delicacies have found a great partner in dark chocolate, and we could not help but share their loving embrace with you.
While you wait for your new favourite sweets to arrive at your door, we want to take you on a trip around a date plantation. Up to a hundred dates can grow on a date palm; they can be harvested by hand or with the aid of mechanical tongs, and are then dried in the sun to make them become more durable. For our date snack, we have chosen Deglet Nour dates, which are grown mostly in Algeria and Tunisia.
In case you were wondering, we have chosen to cover our delicious dates with dark chocolate for two reasons: first of all, a gentle bitterness balances perfectly the natural sweetness of our dates; and secondly, we did not want to use sweetened chocolate, as we care about your health, and always try to present you products which have been processed as little as possible.

What is the KoRo price chart?
In this chart, you can see the price per base unit (mainly 100g). In addition, you will learn the reason for a price reduction or increase by clicking on the information circles. -
Why is the price fluctuating?
Most annual product crops have an impact on the relationship between supply and demand in the market. In the event of a bad harvest, we must also pay a higher price for raw materials. Due to the strong impact of external factors such as wind, weather, climate and natural events on the harvest, we are refusing long-term cross-harvest contracts with our producers. -
Why are we communicating price changes at KoRo?
Open communication is very important to us and therefore part of our vision. For this reason, we would like to keep you informed of the evolution of our prices. Thus, the KoRo price chart provides a transparent overview of the evolution of the products prices over time.
Dates covered in dark chocolate - Ein Blick hinter die Kulissen
The lineseed plant
The linseed plant, also called flax, was already known and cultivated around 5000 BC. Christ, and regarded as a medicinal plant.
Here is where the common flax grows
The common flax grows up to a meter high and in large fields, and in summer it produces pretty blue flowers.
Let them ripen
Towards the end of August the linseed plant is ready for the harvest, when the lower leaves of the plant slowly fall off.
The harvesting
As soon as the flax is ripe, it must be harvested within a few days. Up to 3 tons of linseed can be harvested per hectare of land - incredible!
Linseeds: whole or ground?
If flaxseeds are eaten whole, they normally go through the digestive tract completely unaffected. This means that the healthy fibre and unsaturated fatty acids cannot be absorbed by the body. That is why linseeds are generally sold crushed!
The seeds are ground using a large industrial mill
the resulting crushed grain with all of its components is then referred to as grist. This process allows our body to better absorb all the flaxseeds nutrients and fibre.
