Dates.
Known as the food of the desert.
They can be good for our health provided that they’re a great energy booster, can reduce the risk of stroke and provide energy for anemic sufferers amongst many other health benefits.
Dates are a versatile fruit that is used for cooking and baking. Egypt and Iran are two of the top date producing countries in the world.
I’ve never liked dates, I wish I did. My grandma loves date pudding. 🙂

I got into dates late, but I can’t seem to get enough of them in the last four years or so.

I hated dates growing up, but in the last few years I cannot get enough of them. I’ll go through times when I’ll eat half a bag in one day. They are just so addicting!

That was my exact reaction when Mom first introduced dates to me. I was very young then. A few years ago, I actually ate it for the first time and it wasn’t that bad. Thanks, chica. ❤
