Make a date with dates this Valentine's Day
I always think dates are full of mystery and magic. Plump and juicy, this ancient fruit has a history that dates back centuries. Many years ago, I flew down to San Diego to drive to Arizona and visit the famous Bard Valley, where I saw first-hand the famous groves with rows upon majestic rows of palm trees, all bearing the weight of the Medjool date – called the “king” of fruits. Medjool dates are big, soft, plump, with a meaty sweetness that works in all sorts of dishes.
