Saudi Arabia and the entire Middle East has a constant love affair with dates. There are hundreds of varieties of dates that can be found in this region of the world and there are even huge markets that solely sell dates. Some dates are soft and gooey, while others are hard and dry. Some are eaten before they ripen. I've liked every single kind that I have tried so far!
The dates pictured here are soft and gooey. First we separated them because they stick together, then we cut them in half, took out the pits, and then placed a nut, like walnuts or almonds in the center. Then we rolled each date in sesame seeds. It makes a delicious and nutritious healthy snack. It's a messy job, but it's really fun to lick your fingers when you're all done!
