Honey Dates

Wow! If you buy every different type of date you can find, and you taste test them side by side, the Honey date has the most unique and honey-like taste (in a good way, as I'm not a big honey lover) that you'll ever try. Each type of date has it's different flavor nuances, but Honey dates have the high sweetness of dates, with a softer center and a flavor that is buttery and honey-caramel-like. Nothing else melts on your tongue or finishes like this variety. Be aware, this one is the "super sweet" type of date and doesn't travel as well as Medjool dates with their more solid, chewy centers. These would pair well with raw almonds, a drier cheese like Manchego, or even a snack like salted pistachios. They would sweetened any baked good or smoothie, blending well without hard chunks of date floating around in them. I'd recommend these to anyone!
