Palm & Vine offers a range of dried fruit, nuts and mixed snacks that sit somewhere between traditional crisps and a proper snack. If you get hungry between meals and want something with a bit more substance than a bag of ready salted, these are worth trying.
Dried Fruit and Dates
The date selection is the backbone of what Palm & Vine does. You get several types to choose from: Medjool dates are the big, soft, sticky ones that taste almost like caramel if you leave them on your tongue for a moment. Deglet dates are smaller and chewier, with a more subtle sweetness. Zamli dates sit somewhere in between. There's also an organic Medjool option if that matters to you. Dried mango provides a sharp, tangy hit when you want fruit that tastes more like fruit and less like concentrated sugar. Dried cranberries are tart and a bit more challenging than the dates, which makes them good for cutting through richer snacks in a mixed handful.
Nuts and Trail Mixes
Palm & Vine stocks individual nut packs: almonds, cashews and pistachios. Almonds are straightforward, crunchy and slightly earthy. Cashews have that buttery sweetness that makes it hard to stop eating them. Pistachios have the texture and the flavour that makes you feel like you're choosing something a bit better for yourself. If you can't decide between nuts and dried fruit, the Fruit and Nut Trail Mix combines both, which works well if you're the sort of person who likes variety in every handful. There's also a Chocolate, Fruit & Nut option that adds cocoa into the mix, and Coconut with Coconut Nectar for something different.
These aren't crisps, but they're the kind of thing you'd grab if you wanted something more filling than a single bag of crisps. They're handy for mid-afternoon slumps, car journeys, or if you just need something to do with your hands while you're watching something.
Why Palm & Vine Works
The draw here is that everything tastes like what it is. The dates taste like dates. The nuts taste like nuts. There's no weird aftertaste and nothing artificial hanging around in your mouth afterwards. The textures vary enough that they stay interesting: soft and chewy dates, hard and crunchy nuts, leathery dried fruit. Each pack costs one pound, which makes them easy to try without committing to a bulk buy. You can grab a few different types and work out what actually appeals to you rather than guessing based on descriptions.
If you're the type who likes having something to snack on but gets bored with the same thing every day, full cases of crisps can feel a bit limiting. This range gives you alternatives that still feel like proper snacking. They work particularly well if you're trying to keep your diet a bit more balanced without completely abandoning the idea of actual snacks. Mix them with grab bags of crisps for variety throughout the week.
Allergens and Dietary Information

Are Palm & Vine dates organic?
Only the Organic Medjool Dates are certified organic. The other date options are not organic. Check individual product pages for full details about sourcing and production methods if this is important to you.
What is the difference between Medjool and Deglet dates?
Medjool dates are larger, softer and sweeter with a more caramel-like flavour. Deglet dates are smaller, chewier and have a subtler, more complex sweetness. Both are good, just different eating experiences depending on what you're in the mood for.
Can I buy Palm & Vine in bulk?
Every pack sold here costs one pound. If you want to stock up, you can buy multiple packs of the same product or try different ones. Check if multipacks are available for products that interest you.
Are these products vegan or vegetarian?
Check the back of each pack for dietary information. Different products have different ingredients and production methods. The packaging will tell you everything you need to know.
What does Coconut with Coconut Nectar taste like?
Coconut with Coconut Nectar is chewy and sweet with a distinct coconut flavour throughout. The nectar adds a smooth sweetness rather than being a separate ingredient you can pick out. It's worth trying if you like coconut.
