I love dates! I have never had them fresh like that, though! Maybe some day I'll get to try them. Until then I will gladly enjoy my dried ones. :)

Dates are delicious! Fresh are less sweeter compared to the dried ones. Yes, hope one day you can try fresh one, its taste so good too. Enjoy your dates :)
