Ready for the freezer. I've been tempted sometimes to eat them while shaving.

If you are a connoisseur of dates, I would urge you to seek out the date variety called Ajwah.

If you have a Middle Eastern market in your area, that's your best chance for finding them.

They are relatively tiny compared to the medjool variety, darker, have an intense, creamy and nutty texture.

Thanks for the idea. I'll check it out.

You might try Goodies Market on Lake City Way, they may have it. Also get a Zaatar flatbread while you are there.

Thanks! I'll hit it the next time I go north to see my grandson.

Once you go Ajwah, there's no turning back.

churchilllafemme , you freeze dates? I thought they kept well at room temperature because they are dried. If you are into dates, Flying Disc Ranch has many varieties and sells them mail order.

Thanks (I think) for the link.  

There may be a rabbit hole in my future!  LOL

The dates I buy from California are juicy and moist, not dry, so I think they last much longer when frozen.

I've had them spoil when left in the refrigerator, so I freeze mine also. They don't really freeze.
