Native to the Middle East, these little fruits grow in clusters on large Date Palm trees. Dates have a high sugar content which only increases as the moisture leaves the fruit. There are a multitude of ways to use dates in both sweet and savory applications. Sweeten a banana and oat milk smoothie; or add to a cheeseboard. Stuff with blue cheese and wrap with bacon to prepare Devils on Horseback.
Please note that date sugar will crystallize and may appear white. Warm these up to remove white crystals.
