Dates are one of the oldest cultivated fruits - it's thought that they were a staple part of the Babylonian diet 8,000 years ago. Dates are a tropical fruit that is grown on a date palm tree in small clusters. It has dark brown skin, and soft flesh, and is uniquely sweet. Colors range from honey yellow, and red to brown, the last of which is the most common. Available fresh or dried, they're very sweet, with a rich, deep flavor and a lush, slightly chewy texture. The mahogany brown Medjool variety is the sweetest and tastes a little like toffee. Dates are full of nutrition, especially dry dates.
