Dates
What can I say about dates? I love them! They are the perfect natural sweetener for smoothies and dessert recipes, and when I think of dates, I think of the Northern African desert. Don’t ask me why. Maybe growing up in Morocco has something to do with it :)
But freshly picked dates are as delicious as the ones from my father’s garden.
