When the Arab empire was expanding, they brought date trees into north Africa and Spain. From Spain, dates were brought to Mexico and California.

Dates are loaded with nutrition. The desert tribes lived and thrived on dates for centuries. Dates were thought of as a perfect food source.

Ripe dates are about 80 percent natural sugar and very high in fiber. They also contain protein, fat and minerals including copper, sulfur, iron, magnesium, potassium, and fluoric acid.

Buy pitted dates to eat as snacks or to stuff with nuts, cream cheese or marzipan. They’re great with walnuts.

Buy pitted dates to chop up for cookies, pies and other desserts. In Morocco, pitted dates go into tajines (tagines). Pitted dates are also used to make date sugar or date syrup. Although dates are grown in California and Florida, dates from the Middle East tend to be richer in taste and nutrients due to the fertile soil and frequent irrigation.
