These are the dates that most of us see only in dried form?????! How are they?
Yes. They are only usually available dried or candied outside of their growing area. Here we get them fresh, dried, candied, preserved in rice wine etc. They are also made into wine.
They're OK, but not my favourite I haven't had a fresh one for years. The dried ones often turn up in hot pots and soups, though.
