Dried Fruit

I have a feeling I will be consuming them in mass quantities soon as they arrive.

I just got my dates in, OMG, nom nom nom nom nom nom nom.

Oh yeh, definitely feeling the warming effects of the dates. Nice!

Are these really considered dry fruit? They don't exactly seem dry. They are gushy and oh so yummy.

Manchego cheese wrapped dates.

Manchego cheese from Spain: pasteurized sheep's milk, rennet, salt.

If anyone is interested in ordering some of the best gooiest fresh dates, I highly recommend Bautista Organic Dates. Their website is 7hotdates.com. I make no money from this company, I only recommend them because for the price you can find no better IMO. I have been ordering from them for years. The Khadrawy are my favorite. All of their dates have been harvested with the last few weeks, compared to the dates in the stores which are last years crop.

I'll second the recommendation for bautista, they sell them locally at my farmers market and are the best dates available. I was selling them for awhile to people from 30 bananas a day which made him super popular, kinda screwed me because he doesn't go to the farmers market as much anymore

The Bautista's farm is like 25 miles from the Chocolate Mountain Aerial Gunnery Range.

So I made some changes in the diet. I started with the standard Peat diet. 2L of milk, 1L of OJ etc. But it was too much fluids for me. I was freezing all the time. So I stopped drinking OJ and started to eat 300g of dates. Those dates working amazing for me. It's like night and day. OJ vs dates.. I also changed 3,5% milk for 1,5% milk. So more carbs, less fat, less fluids. I feel much better.

Dates gave me an off feeling and sleeplessness, but then again every fruit under the sun seems to vibe badly with me, must be a pesticide or preservative thing. I wasn't eating the organic ones. Am headed to get organic as soon as I can source them, cause dates are DELICIOUS.

How many dates were you eating?

 

[Luann]

A lot, I was using them to meet some nutrient needs that milk and liver weren't meeting, so maybe a 6 - 700 calorie serving of them every other day.

I wonder if it was the fibre irritating you or perhaps the preservative issue like you said.

I thought about the fiber, but really won't know until I get some organic dates. They are great though so maybe I can just cut back and eat a little.
