Recently, many companies including the Anthony’s have started producing some products that are made from dates, such as date sugar.
Being natural is the reason why this sugar has become globally famous. ACH Food Companies, Inc., a leading manufacturer of cooking oils and baking products, has announced its acquisition of Anthony’s Goods (anthonysgoods.com), a leading digital-native brand in the natural and organic food space that provides consumers with a diverse set of high-quality products, ranging from Almond and Coconut Flours to Psyllium Husk.
Anthony’s Goods was founded by Anthony Zanontian and Alex Avakian — two long-time friends who decided to sell almond flour and other gluten-free ingredients after doctors diagnosed Anthony with rheumatoid arthritis.
Anthony found that removing wheat from his diet made him feel better, but it was difficult for him to find alternative flour products in convenient sizes.
Anthony and Alex translated this market insight into what is today a fast-growing leader in the eCommerce natural and organic food space, with many of its products becoming category top-selling items on Amazon.
The brand has built a loyal consumer following as evidenced by thousands of positive reviews on Amazon. Anthony’s Goods will continue to operate independently, led by the founders.
“We definitely found the right partner in ACH, as they demonstrated a relentless passion and deep attention to detail for our products and our consumers,” said Anthony Zanontian, Co-Founder at Anthony’s Goods.
Co-founder Alex Avakian added, “We’re confident that ACH’s experience and capabilities, guided by our original vision, will help bring our great tasting organic, natural flours and meals to the world.”
“One of the key reasons we partnered with Anthony’s Goods is their ability to rapidly meet increasing consumer demands for high-quality natural, organic options,” said Imad Bazzi, Chief Executive Officer of ACH.
“Anthony’s is one of the fastest growing, entrepreneurial businesses we’ve seen in our sector and will be a strong complement to our core business.
We look forward to working with Anthony and Alex to bring their vision for Anthony’s Goods to more happy and passionate consumers.”
ACH Food Companies, Inc. manufactures, markets, and sells a premier branded portfolio of cooking oils and baking brands in the consumer and foodservice channels in the US, Canada, Puerto Rico, and Mexico.
ACH’s brands are #1 or #2 brands in their categories and include Mazola® cooking oil, Fleischmann’s® yeast, Karo® corn syrup, Argo® corn starch, and baking powder, and Capullo® cooking oil.
Founders and long-term friends Anthony Zanontian and Alex Avakian got the idea to sell almond flour and other gluten-free ingredients after doctors diagnosed Anthony with rheumatoid arthritis and he found that removing wheat from his diet made him feel better.
Today, Anthony’s Goods is a thriving digital-native business that provides consumers with delicious, high-quality products in the Specialty Baking, Superfoods, Specialty Supplements, and Functional Snack categories.
Date sugar is a type of sugar found most commonly in natural food stores since it is less processed than more conventional sugars. It is made from dried dates and adds a rich sweetness to recipes, although it will not dissolve when added to drinks.
It also does not melt like granulated sugar which can limit its use. It is sometimes promoted as a healthier alternative to brown sugar, although it can be quite expensive.
Date sugar should not be confused with date palm sugar, also called palm sugar, as this is made from the sap of the sugar palm tree, including date trees.
Date sugar is made from the date palm plant, date sugar is a less refined sugar than typical white sugar. Date sugar can be substituted in many foods and beverages.
Date sugar is made by first making a paste from raw dates. Then, the paste is mixed with a substance called maltodextrin (a common food additive). This mixture is oven dried and ground into granules.
The proportion of maltodextrin to date paste determines the properties of the sugar. There are many recipes for making date sugar at home, but they can also be purchased. There are many methods looking to automate the process of date sugar production.
Dates have a few stages of development: khalal, rutab, and tamer. The best dates to make into date sugar are tamer dates, as they have a very low moisture content (about 30%) and are very sweet.
Studies are currently in progress on how best to determine the sugar content of a date. This could help identify the best dates to use for date sugar.
These days, finding processed dates at fair costs is not unrelated to these goods. Many wholesalers and merchants now find it simpler to begin online marketing thanks to distinctive, fashionable packaging.
Typically, dates are packaged in bulky cartons in a manner that is not appealing to consumers, which leads to lower sales.
Our organization has developed novel packaging styles that are fashionable, keep the fruits fresh, and cause little damage, to all the businesses in the world.
These exquisite packagings have gained popularity among people of all tastes in a short period of time. They have strengthened our drive to maintain our position as the world’s leading producer of dates.
Summary
After being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, Anthony Zanontian and Alex Avakian started their own business, Anthony’s Goods.
In the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and Mexico, ACH Food Companies, Inc. produces, markets, and sells a variety of well-known cooking oil and baking brand names.
Date sugar, which is less processed than regular sugar, is typically sold at health food stores. Dried dates are the base for this sweetener, which provides a deep flavor to dishes but does not dissolve in liquid.
Anthony’s Goods is now a successful web-based company supplying consumers with tasty, premium items in the categories of Specialty Baking, Superfoods, Niche Supplements, and Functional Snacks.
These dates, which have a low moisture content (approximately 30%) and are very sweet, make the best dates for making date sugar. The sugar’s characteristics are set by the ratio of maltodextrin to date paste.
Date sugar can be made at home following one of the numerous available recipes, or it can be purchased.
Due to our commitment to providing great services for selecting dates with high quality and the best offer, which enables them to save time and money, many of our customers have turned into long-term customers.
Additionally, our business works with many suppliers who want to be able to export their high-quality goods to other countries or who want to expand our dates through franchisees all over the world.
These organizations give us their credentials, and our responsible colleagues will get in touch with them soon to discuss the next steps of collaboration.
