Fresh Dates - Bet You Can't Eat Just One!


Greetings from the warm & sunny dessert! Did I type "dessert"?? Freudian slip. I've been satisfying my sweet tooth while I'm visiting my in-laws in Borrego Springs, CA - the desert, one "S" - with some fabulously fresh dates from a date farm we visited earlier this week. We sampled probably ten different kinds, and settled on the hugest, most moist, soft, delish medjools we've ever had, as well as some khadwary dates, which are smaller and less super sweet, almost carmel-y. Yum! A perfect, portable sweet treat - with 5 times the antioxidants of berries, according to the date farm lady! Bet you can't eat just one!
