Date Lady

Date Lady — BBQ Sauce · 13.8 oz

$14.99

An award-winning organic BBQ sauce sweetened with dates instead of corn syrup or cane sugar. Smoky, tangy and rich.

Most barbecue sauce is mostly sugar. Date Lady builds theirs on whole dates, which bring a deep, molasses-like sweetness along with fiber, then layers in crushed tomatoes, organic apple cider vinegar, wood-smoked paprika, ancho chili and garlic for real smoky depth. There is no liquid smoke, no refined sugar and no artificial flavor. It won a Specialty Food Association sofi Award in 2020, and it is the bottle that converts people who thought they did not like "healthy" BBQ sauce.
