Trader Joe's Organic Dried & Pitted Deglet Noor Dates, 227g

Organically grown in California, TJ's supplier pits each Date prior to packing, which both makes snacking easier, and leaves a convenient cavity, within which you can stuff cream cheese, blue cheese, chevre, or even bits of bacon or prosciutto. Aside from the implications for appetizers this creates, these Dates are also great for using in baking, incorporating into sauces, or chopping up and mixing into salads. For a nice boost of energy, try taking a handful with you, along with some walnuts, almonds, or cashews, the next time you go on a hike.
