Anyone who orders dates online - like medjool, kalawi, honey, etc. Where do you order from to get some good quality organic dates?? Also, i love rutab dates, or dates in the softest and ripest stage. What organic site, if any, sells the best? And any advice on seasonal information for dates is greaat.

I just love em. I hate getting a bad batch sad smiley sometimes whole foods has some juicy fresh ones and other times it's like, hard as a rock (the ones in my fridge right NOW AH)

please let me know where you order your different varieties of dates smiling smiley

I've had good luck with Jaffe Bros [www.organicfruitsandnuts.com]

The bag with dates actually had liquid in it so I know they were quite fresh.

Good luck. Therese

Hi, All! Speaking of dates, I was wondering if anyone knows whether all dates are safe for a raw food diet? Are they all dried at a low enough temperature to keep the enzymes alive? I really don't know the first thing about dates or how they're processed. Thanks in advance for any help you can give with my question. smiling smiley

Dates aren't dried, silly smiling smiley Well they dry some...they usually dry deglect noor dates and call them "bread dates" - use it for cooking

Dates look dried, but they grow just right on a tree. People have been eating them for so long and some anthropologists think that was a big staple in early human diet, i've read. They have more potassium then a banana among other really nice health benefits. I eat a ton after exercise - to get up blood sugar and restore muscle. bam.
so they're just like fruit, no processing - just wonderrful


also, wendy, I just finished off some honey and halawi dates and at first I was unsure about them but they got better every day. mm. The absolute best (when ripe and soft) are medjool, I think so far. They taste like caramel. But i've only tried those threeee! BUMMER I want to try them all haha. Wish I lived in california.
