Since being diagnosed with diabetes after being rushed into ICU two weeks ago, I now have to really watch my diet, including the intake of all fruits. Dates are actually much healthier than many people realize, and besides, they taste good too. One of my favorites restaurants (Babe's in Rancho Mirage) makes a great dry cole slaw-type salad with dates, tangerines, and pecans...it tastes great and theses items really compliment each other.
