How do you guys eat your dates?
Thank you very much for your help.

I add dates to my smoothies and it's delicious.

We chop them up and add it to bowls of oatmeal.

Are there benefits? I admit I plan on eating them in my last few weeks of pregnancy (it was just one small study, but eating sweet fruit = on time delivery and shorter labor? Yes, I will try that), but I didn't know there were additional benefits.

And I was just going to eat them out of hand. Dates in bacon doesn't sound great in July.

Trader Joes or Costco have the tasty Mejdool dates.
I eat them for a snack, just plain.

Dates from a can wrapped in bacon and stuffed with goat cheese.

VERY healthy.
