@Emma Medjool dates do say “rich caramel flavour” so I guess I might have to give that a go, these Whitworths ones say Toffee-ish flavour and they do in fact have similar taste to toffees. So maybe I just like dates😅🤷♀️
I’ve not had these whitworth ones for years but they used to be quite dry. Is that still the case? If you get the fresher medjool dates they’re sweet, sticky and taste like dessert. I agree and love dates. They are so underrated! High in fibre too so good to have during and after labour! Enjoy ☺️
@Emma currently they are drier on the outside, a little crunchy and then toffee softer in the middle, but I’m liking the texture.
If they’re 99% dates then surely they’re exactly the same as any other packet of dates? So I am confused what your question is. Dates are very delicious, they’re very high in sugar
@Elle 99% is not the same as 100%. Without seeing the packet, that 1% is probably preservative or inflammatory seed oils as incognito said, sunflower oil.
These are the ones I used to have 👍🏽 I live in the Middle East now so get fresh brands over here!
If you find a local Arabic shop near you they sell large boxes of very good quality Medjool dates. I think around £10 for a kilo. If you’re using them for labour benefits recommend putting them in a smoothie with berries and cinnamon for a slow glucose spike. You can also soak a bunch and blend them into a paste that you can use for whatever you like. I sometimes put it in my coffee instead of sugar or on a rice cake🤤 its so tasty, like a healthy caramel spread
All I’m going to say is get medjool dates! You won’t regret it 😍👌🏽
