We tasted a whole lotta dates and found 5 of the best

The office buzzed with excitement last week when our colleague Abirami Durai walked in with bags full of dates. Truth be told, they were probably the only dates some of us single folks had, or will have, in a long time. Don’t judge us busy people, okay?

We were absolutely spoilt for choice during the blind tasting session, as there were over 20 types of dates on the table – dry, semi-dry, soft, branched, sticky, chocolate-coated, and more.
