Stuffed Dates Notes
Dates are very nutritious and are an excellent source of dietary fiber (LiveStrong.com).
To make slicing the Medjools easier, first place your knife under hot water.
Carefully slice dates lengthwise and gently remove pits.Neatness counts in presentation!
Medjool dates are available at Whole Foods Market and frequently at Costco. Dried Medjools are more expensive than some other dates; however, you get what you pay for. Medjool dates are sweet, of plump size and nice texture.
