I am a date grower in Indio CA and I grow these wonderful dates. (I grow 7 varieties in all) I have been growing dates organically since 1977. The fresh Barhi crop starts mid August and the dried fruit is available starting early September. Please feel free to contact me. We ship direct from our farm. Barhidates@gmail.com
Fresh yellow Barhi $4.50 / lbs + shipping
Sun dried Barhi $5.00 / lbs + shipping
Favorite recipe: Yams with date sauce. 1 cup fresh tangerine juice, 1 cup fresh (hand pitted) Barhi dates, 1/2 stick butter (or a little more tangerine juice if you don’t want dairy). Warm them together in a sauce pan until they melt into a syrup. Add a tiny bit of water or more juice if the mix is too dry or stiff. Pour over baked yams. WOW is that yummy.

I’ve never tried barhi dates, but I love medjool dates! I usually stuff them with some creamy peanut butter and cinnamon for a filling snack. Yum! 🙂

I love fat free cottage cheese with berries or 1/2 serving almonds with a LF cheese stick.

Those dates do look really good. Unfortunately dried fruit (including dates) gives me migraines or I would be all over them. Lately, I have been getting back into green monster smoothies for a snack. Warm weather really makes me crave them!

Dates are amazing! I used up my stash on my last batch of no-bake snack balls. They are so naturally sweet and delicious.

My favorite helathy snack as of late is fruit… and I’m low on it. 🙁

I don’t think I’ve ever had a date before – isn’t that crazy?! Cheese is my favorite snack! 😀

Glad you got home safe – Happy Monday Nicole!
