 The best dates I have found'

Medjool dates are way too sugary for my tastes.  I prefer the harder, less sugary dates like Noor dates.

Here is a link about some different types of dates:

A tip if your dates dry out.  Moisten a paper towel and put it in to a zip lock bag with a handful of dates and let them sit for anywhere from a few days to a week.  The dates will suck up the moisture making them edible again.
