Dates?

What type of Dates do you eat? I got onto a Date website recommended here- and now I cannot remember the name-- and it seems there are different varieties that one can order to be delivered.

I honestly have never had a Date until today- I picked up some California Medjools from Costco and they are AMAZING. SO YUMMY.

And also..... I bought myself a Vitamix to make green smoothies. And whatever other color smoothies I want. I am so excited about the Vitamix, I have wanted one for YEARS.

Today is day 2 of this totally new outlook on like. It is really changing everything for the better. I have more energy, I feel more alive and vibrant.... so awesome.

Thanks, Laura

Dates from Costco are NOWHERE near as amazing as FRESH DATES from The Date People or Bautista. <3 My favorites are fankly the Barhis, they are absolutely amazing freshly picked, just wow. Although, it may be late in the season, so you can get a variety combo pack of others instead, if you want to?

Actually I have eaten the costco dates and they are pretty good 90% of the time plus they are not processed, only sun dried.

My Costco here must suck, then. :/ But I have tasted sun dried dates from several places, and they still do not compare to fully fresh dates, imo. Hmmm.

The best tasting dates I've found sold in Prescott, AZ where I live are Black Sphinx from Tempe. I've also tried Barhi, honey, Medjool, and Deglet dates. I expect to order from the Date People in the future. And someday I will go on dates with a dreamy androgyne and call them honey date. :P

I am going to pick up a few packs of Deglet Noor dates from Costco only because the price fits into my family's budget, although I prefer Costco's more expensive Medjool dates. Looking forward to trying Daterade. Btw, I have been consuming close to 4,000 calories/day of raw fruit and feel great. I actually released 2 pounds of water weight in the last 2 days, and I feel calm. I praise Yeshua for His beautiful, fresh, abundant foods, and for this lovely supportive community.

I have been ordering fresh dates from Bautista dates for a while now. Very good price and quality. Organic and raw.

The khadrawies were always my favorite but I just re-tried the Halawys. Those REALLY taste like chewy caramels.

So far, I'm just eating medjool and deglet noor dates because they are the only ones my grocer carries. I'm going to have to order some from an online retailer one of these days.

I eat only one type of dates; mazafati. They are the cheapest ones here and they are so so so YUMMY! They are smaller and softer than the medjools and so sweet they just taste like the sweetest candy you've ever had! I'm addicted to a date, banana, romaine salad lately... Pure heaven in a bowl!
