Dates

What does those things in the picture looked like to you??? My friends Zhaoxun and Tongwei bought it and gave to me, since I don’t really get to eat fresh dates in Singapore before…

Usually in Singapore, we buy and eat the dried ones more often, and it is mostly used for cooking soup, medicine and etc… Those in the picture are actually fresh
dates… and it is sold everywhere in Beijing and even on the roads… It is about slightly bigger then cherry, you eat it just like that, tasted a bit crunchy like an apple and the flesh look a bit like an apple too… compared to those dried ones we usually eat, the fresh one are not wrinkled… pumped up... a bit harder... taste better... more nutrients... and

more Yummy…

Seriously I think there should be fresh
dates available in Singapore, just that we don’t buy and eat them that often, do we?
