Dates are believed to have originated in the Middle East and have been a valued food source for thousands of years. Large and moist, they are a taste sensation. A tender skin encases soft, golden brown flesh that is sweet and succulent with a fruity caramel flavour. Medjools are wonderful when entertaining or as a quick snack. A pantry staple – dates are great for lunch boxes; in raw food recipes; baked goods; and sweet or savoury dishes.
Warning: May contain whole or partial pits.
