Reddit mentions: The best dried dates

I ordered these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001PB801Y/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don't have a lot of experience with dates, but they were delicious. I didn't eat them fast enough and fear they are starting to go bad. I have kept them in the refrigerator and ate about 6 a day(I am trying to lose weight, so I can't binge out on them). I am currently drying the remaining ones in hope that it preserves them a little longer.

I know! My running has improved. I went on a fast paced 5k the other day and PRed. I just keep getting stronger, faster, and recovery is an hourly thing rather than a daily thing. Good work to you my friend!

I don’t know where you live and I think it’s pretty different for location and what stores you have available — I did a quick search online though and there’s an amazon product that’s 5lbs pitted, 0.27 cents per oz, and free shipping if you have amazon prime. There’s probably cheaper somewhere but that’s pretty good I think

The reviews on these from amazon are that they are soft and good still... and the price is great :)

If you saw my recipe for Pear Crisp, you’ll love this one for Vegan Caramel Sauce. Additional notes for the recipe found here —> https://veggiechick.com/vegan-caramel/

Vegan Caramel

• 1 can full-fat coconut milk
  
• 1 tablespoon tahini
  
• 6 soft medjool dates, pitted (if not soft, soak in water for at least 20 minutes until soft, and drain)
  
• 2 tablespoons arrowroot starch/flour (or cornstarch)
  
• 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
  
• 1/4 teaspoon ground sea salt
  
  INSTRUCTIONS
  
  

1. To a high powered blender, add the can of coconut milk (note: for even thicker caramel, you can use only the thick white part of the can, and leave out the juice). Then add the tahini, medjool dates, arrowroot starch, coconut sugar, and sea salt. Start blending on low speed and increase speed slowly. Blend for roughly 1 minute until creamy.
   
2. Transfer the sauce to a saucepan. Turn the heat to low (it should not be boiling) and heat for about 15-18 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until thickened to your liking. Remove from heat.
   
3. Transfer to an airtight container and place in the fridge. The caramel will thicken more as it cools.
   
4. This recipe makes about 1 1/2 cups caramel sauce (serving size= 2 tablespoons). Use this caramel as a dip for fruit, or drizzle on top of ice cream or many dessert recipes, such as Easy Pear Crisp. Lemon Poppyseed Muffins, Cherry Date Raw Bars, or Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Squares.
