\"Dates-crepes\"<\/p>\n

Dates crepes filled with chocolate frosting and nuts, a perfectly delicious breakfast…<\/p>\n

What kind of dates did I use to make these crepes??? Medjool Dates! Medjool dates are known as the “King of dates” because of their large size and exquisite taste. They are also hard to grow and thus rare. There are typically three main varieties of dates: soft, semi-dry and dry. Medjool dates are the soft dates.<\/p>\n

When grocery shopping, I usually come across the medjool dates by Natural delights<\/strong>. I often buy this product as their dates taste really good and they have an attractive texture. Their dates are 100% natural, fat free and don’t have any preservatives or added flavorings. Without a doubt, these are my favorite medjool dates.<\/p>\n

Natural Delights Medjool Dates<\/a>, a brand of Medjool Dates that are grown in the Bard Valley, which straddles California and Arizona. Medjool Dates are a fresh date with a deep amber colour and they have a crinkly skin that shimmers with natural sugar crystals. Inside, the texture is caramel-like and chewy. In fact, Medjools practically melt in your mouth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you haven’t tasted Natural Delights Medjool dates yet, I would strongly recommend it. Give it a try and I know you’ll love it.<\/p>\n

These dates are so tasty and soft that you’ll just want to have them straight out of the box. Dates are rich in iron, fiber, other essential minerals and have remarkable health benefits. Having a few dates everyday for breakfast is really good. Also you can have it after a heavy meal instead of dessert.<\/p>\n

So many dishes can be whipped up easily with dates. Dates smoothie<\/a>, dates muffin<\/a>, dates cake<\/a>, dates rice, dates chutney<\/a>, dates pancake<\/a>;\u00a0the list is endless. One of my most favorite cakes is indeed Dates cake<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While thinking of making a new dish with dates, I was hit by the idea of dates crepes. Sounded excellent and I just went ahead and made it. It turned out to be so tasty. Since I added dates while making the batter I didn’t add sugar. The sweet dates imparted the needed sweetness to the crepes. For making the crepes even more yummy, I filled the dates crepes with chocolate frosting and nuts. I can easily say that this is one of the best crepes I have ever made and I served this for breakfast today.<\/p>\n
