If you ever find yourself in the Palm Springs area of Southern California, about an hour’s drive will take you to the date palm farms. The gift shops have many varieties of dates that you rarely see in the market.
Sometimes a market in my city will sell fresh dates on the branch. You take them home and let them ripen for a few days; once they’ve shriveled and concentrated the sweetness and flavor, they’re ready to eat.
