Tunisian Dates Deglet Nour
- On sale due to expiration dates of 8/26 (ECO PACK) and 9/2 (LARGE PACK)! -
The seedless Tunisian Degret Nour, the king of dates, traditionally known as "the shining light", is a perfect date for a light snack or to make yeast for sweets and bread.
It has a moist and soft texture and a deep, natural sweetness reminiscent of brown sugar or dried persimmon. It is the equivalent of Champagne in wine, and is the only brand in Tunisia that can be sold on the stem.
Unlike other dried fruits, which are harvested and then dried, these are left to ripen and dry on the tree, and then dried further after harvest. Drying them slowly in the sunlight enhances their richness and sweetness.
Dates are rich in dietary fiber and minerals such as iron, calcium, and folic acid, and are known as natural superfoods. They contain a lot of natural sugars, including glucose, which is quickly digested and absorbed into the body. They are recommended for when you want to quickly replenish your energy source, such as when hiking or recovering after sports.
It is also a great snack for small children and pregnant/breastfeeding women, allowing you to enjoy its natural sweetness.
The raw materials are ECOCERT and USDA certified.

NATURAL FARMING
Representative Yuya Kimijima came across high-quality fruits such as Tunisian dates while traveling around the world, and founded Anbessa & Co. in 2010 with the aim of importing organic dried fruits.
At the same time, he moved to Minamiboso City, Chiba Prefecture, surrounded by abundant nature, and together with his wife, Akuri, he is working to live a self-sufficient life through natural farming methods.
We cultivate crops such as rice, wheat, beans, and vegetables using traditional methods that are as close to nature as possible, such as clearing fallow fields, planting rice in seedling beds, and then hand-planting each seedling that grows.
In the mountain orchard, they grow plums, summer oranges, loquats, black currants, and other fruits without fertilizer or pesticides, and also keep Japanese honeybees. There is a natural cycle in which bees pollinate the trees and make them bear fruit, so they build the orchard while thinking about what will happen several years down the line.
Behind this lifestyle is a desire to understand the work of producers, as an organic food importer and wholesaler. This is not only out of consideration for the natural environment, but also to deepen his knowledge and insight into the organic produce he handles and to interact with the producers.
NATURAL BUILDING & ENERGY
The actual store, Organic Grocery Abyssinia, was designed and constructed by Kimijima himself, and was self-built over a period of three and a half years. It is a "return to the earth" store that uses only materials found in the surrounding area, such as mountain clay, sea sand, thinned wood, and rice husks.
This off-grid (not connected to the power company's power grid, i.e. self-sufficient in electricity without relying on the power company) community space also functions as a base of operations in the event of a disaster, with its own power generation on the rooftop solar panels, composting toilets, and well water supply.
By utilizing renewable energy, we aim to produce dried fruit using 100% self-generated power, which has been difficult to achieve until now using existing generators alone.
AMBESSA & CO
Based on the philosophy of "PURE, NATURAL & SUSTAINABLE", this husband and wife business mainly focuses on importing and wholesaling high-quality organic food ingredients.
The products they sell are grown organically (without pesticides or chemical fertilizers). They don't use any additives or preservatives, and they keep processing to a minimum. They cherish the natural flavor of the produce themselves, such as leaving dried fruits with the stems and stems attached, and leaving nuts raw without roasting.
While growing crops based on natural farming in the lush Minamiboso city of Chiba prefecture, we are also involved in activities to promote the use of natural architecture and renewable energy, and to spread the word about their appeal.
In addition, in cooperation with local organic farmers, we effectively commercialize agricultural products that do not meet the standards or that would otherwise be discarded due to overproduction. We are also working on CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), which helps to eliminate food waste and support primary industry products by purchasing them.
