CHOCOLATE DATE TRUFFLES FOR MUMS-TO-BE
A SMOOTHER LABOUR
Eating dates regularly in the final weeks of pregnancy is wisdom passed from woman to woman, a nourishing tradition believed to help ease the body into labour. These date truffles help the expecting mum to seamlessly enjoy more dates in her day.
Studies show that eating six dates per day regularly over the last four weeks of pregnancy is linked to a shorter labour that's less likely to need medical intervention to speed things up.
Treat yourself and add date truffles to your daily date intake. Or gift a box to a loved one– it makes a perfect gift for baby showers, co-workers going on mat leave, or friends a month away from welcoming their new addition to the family.
WHOLESOME INGREDIENTS
A DECADENT TREAT
Final Dates are crafted for mums-to-be (whether it's their first, second, third baby...) and made by hand in London with organic Medjool dates and dark chocolate. Think chocolate truffles with the natural caramel notes of dates.
SO WHY DATES?
ENTER, NATURE'S POWERHOUSE
In addition to dates being a source of fibre, magnesium, potassium, calcium, B-vitamins, and folate, studies show that eating dates regularly beginning at least four weeks before your due date can help with a smoother labour.
Dates affect oxytocin receptors and make uterine muscles respond better to oxytocin, resulting in more effective labour contractions. You might have heard of oxytocin as the "love hormone".
Of course, this energy-boosting fruit can be enjoyed any time, it's the consistency and increased intake in the final weeks that is key as the due date nears.
