4. Dates
The variety of dates and the methods of preparation are numerous. I have to say I am not much of a date expert, but you can probably judge based on their appearance. The plumper and shinier they are , the sweeter they probably be. Also don’t be afraid to ask sales assistants for advice, as they should know what they are selling. There are also numerous varieties of dates dipped in chocolate, stuffed with nuts, soaked in honey and sesame seeds, I can go on.
We have tried buying dates in Bateel outlets, which I thought was very expensive, but they had unusual varieties. You can try checking local supermarkets, which will surely stock dates at much more agreeable prices.
