Hehe, fooled you! I saw these Egyptian dates on sale at Tesco. Usually the loose ones look at bit dried up and that’s why I seldom buy them.
But these ones looked fresh and moist so of course, I jumped at the chance. My favorite kind of dates are Medjool but in the absence of, these Egyptian dates would do just fine
.

They are so inexpensive that I’ve since gone back and bought another few more bags of them.
Health benefit-wise, dates are very fiber- and antioxidant-rich. So they’re good in helping reduce blood glucose and cholesterol levels, not to mention a real energy booster.

I used to love dates, but I think I’d almost forgotten they existed. Thanks for reminding me!!

I’m only reminded when I see them, otherwise it’s out of sight, out of mind
