This may be my first fresh date ever...

Date: February 05, 2011 09:52PM So today Trader Joe's had these fancy Medjool dates for $4.49/lb. They were refrigerated and on the package it says 'refrigerate after opening.' Why is this? (By the way, after consuming one of these, I have a slight burning sensation in my mouth. What the hell is this about? Is it normal? I have never had that happen with dried dates! Could it be some chemical?) Re: This may be my first fresh date ever...

Date: February 05, 2011 09:59PM LOL- I have eaten three more in the last seven minutes so obviously I don't give a rat's ____ about that aftertaste! Re: This may be my first fresh date ever...

Date: February 05, 2011 10:08PM I just want to add that I never cared to buy fresh dates because from what I saw, they looked pretty much like dried ones. Having now devoured a bunch of them, I guess they are moister...I heard someone rave about his fresh date being so "juicy" and gooey. Meh. It's softer but about the same.

Date: February 05, 2011 10:21PM Never tried a fresh date... fresh figs on the other hand are my favourite! They are heavenly. Re: This may be my first fresh date ever...

Date: February 05, 2011 10:32PM @Bluegrey: Don't get me started! I tried them for the first time last summer and it was on! I just kept buying more and more pints...I cannot wait for them to come back in season! Re: This may be my first fresh date ever...

Date: February 06, 2011 04:07AM I have never had this burning sensation when eating medjool dates! This is not a good sign, surely. I would eat these sparingly if at all...
Ugh, figs. They taste like dusty dirty yuck to me. I don't like those fresh or dried. I know people rave about them but I would rather eat durian and that tastes like rotten old fermented gym socks IMHO. Re: This may be my first fresh date ever...

Date: February 06, 2011 04:54PM There is absolutely no way in the world that a fresh date can be confused with a dried date. They have a very short shelf life because they have so much moisture in them - they will only keep a few days - they are soooooo gooey and sweet - like nothing else.
In my experience sugar only collects on the outside of semi dry ones never the really truly fresh ones. Re: This may be my first fresh date ever...

Date: February 06, 2011 09:26PM Prana, no they are not organic. Whole Foods has og dates for $7.99 and these are $3 cheaper. I ate several more and did not experience the same sensation. I had to laugh, Wheatgreass Yogi! I am way too familiar with sugar in all its forms  Re: This may be my first fresh date ever...

Date: February 06, 2011 11:48PM That's so cool. Let me know how it goes...
Once I had a coconut on top of the fridge for so long it sprouted. Nowhere to keep a tropical tree though, I put it into the compost (it was winter). Re: This may be my first fresh date ever...

Obviously I missed the point. I've only had the dried Medjools, and they were too sweet (and addictive) for me.....WY Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
