Summary! What magic can dates work in my kitchen?

Dates are a staple in my kitchen, especially the Medjool variety. I always go for unsulphured dried dates because they taste fresher and don’t upset my stomach. For a quick snack, I just slice one open, remove the pit, and stuff it with a little blue cheese or almond butter. If I’m making oatmeal, I’ll chop a couple of dates and toss them in while it’s cooking. The natural sweetness is perfect—no extra sugar needed. Sometimes I blend soaked dates into a paste and use it as a sugar substitute in baking. For salads, diced dates add a chewy, sweet contrast to greens and nuts. Fresh dates are great too, especially blended into smoothies for extra fiber and nutrients. Always check for pits before eating! #dates #naturalsweetener #healthysnacks #Food #Cooking
