Just ordered some different kinds. I am obsessed with medjool, and I just have to get some new ones to try. So I went with honey and halawi. I'm excited to see what they'll taste like smiling smiley

Dates are low in Water and high in Sugar. I
believe it was Herbert Shelton, of Natural Hygiene fame,
who said, "Anything that has to be eaten in moderation,
is best not eaten at all".
Probably better to go with Apricots, or Figs......WY

pft, whatever. it's not like i'm going to be gorging myself on dozens of them at a time. i can manage one or even two medjool dates per serving and that's enough for me. they are such a fantastic sugar/chocolate craving fix, i could never eat sweets again with them around! *loves dates*

I do, right after exercise. Get those blood sugar levels back up. Like, 10 or 13 sometimes. I should probably cut back, haha, but they're just great.

I love dates. During the height of the date season, I'll buy an entire 15 pound box of deglet noors.

Figs and apricots are dried usually in ovens, and even if they are dried in the sun, they taste like fermented to me. Whereas dates come somehow dried in a natural state. So I'd rather go for dates than for figs or apricots...

Shouldn't everything be eaten in moderation?

:-P

That's fine, but you owe it to
yourself to try the Sun-dried Hunza Apricots
from Jaffe Brothers.....WY

^^^^ Hahaa Sapphire. Me too.

Love medjool dates and eat them bountifully when the feeling strikes. They are wonderful blended with a nut milk and some ginger root. Mmmm.

That depends on the person.
It seems like Moderation is not a popular
way-of-life among the Date eaters here. There's some-
thing about Dates that don't do it for me. But
then again, who else, besides me, likes Collards,
Kale, and Sea Lettuce in Green Smoothies?
We're all different. Moderation to one is Excessive
to another.....WY
