Dates, pitted, dried

Dates are the sweet fruit of the date palm. They are typical of the Mediterranean Sea and Western Asia, places with tropical climates. Pitted dates are soft and chewy dried fruits with a sweet flavor and pleasant to eat straight away.

Dried dates can be eaten directly. In combination with nuts, they are a very good basis for raw candies. Dried dates with oatmeal and almonds make a wonderful breakfast. Rinse the dates in warm water. Cut and mix with rolled oats, ground almonds and a little water or milk. Wait half an hour or boil the mixture down for a while.
