Hi Everyone, I have a question about dates. Do I have to eat fresh dates? If I eat dried dates is this a problem? I know that dates are quite a staple in this lifestyle so want to make sure i'm not eating something that's bad for me. Can anyone give me a real specific description as I'm a bit confused about it!
I also included a picture!!
Fresh dates are certainly best. They are never actually "dried", they just get drier as they get older. When they are drier, I like to soak them overnight and blend them with water.

As for dates, I've bought boxed ones wholesale, almost all are 'dried' (I'm in the UK) the main thing being the avoidance of sulphur, which is commonly used as a preservative.

I've seen dates sold cheaper, there was another recent post on dates (is there a dates group, I guess I should check, though sadly it would appear that no-one maintains the groups) and I commented there.
Try to find a buying group so you can buy from Suma at wholesale prices (otherwise placing a £250 ex VAT order will get you free delivery). I suggest you join Volentia (15,300+ veg*ns, raw foodists, fruitarians), if you haven't already, and read more on there.
Possibly see you at a London/Surrey event.
