Dated, I am sure.

Amazing they are still viable: life finds a way.

They remind me of the taste of wild hickory nuts.

Buy a package of pitted dates, stuff each one with an almond, wrap with half a slice of thin bacon, place on cookie sheet and cook at 425 degrees for 20 minutes. You will like.

Some dates I’ve been on seemed like they lasted 2600 years.

According to the article, sort of like zahidi dates, which are less sweet than the medjool and deglet noor varieties and much less sweet than barhis, my favorite variety.

I remember reading when they found the seeds and were trying to get them to grow. Good to hear they were able to get them to fruit.
