Staff Pick
Dates

Dates are natural caramels and have the highest sugar content of any item in the Produce department. Lots of sugar and low moisture mean these treats have a long shelf life and whether fresh or dried, dates are high in vitamin C and energizing. Since they don’t need to be refrigerated, they make a good camping and hiking treat. Try dates with yogurt for breakfast or stuffed with almonds or cheese as a simple snack. Look for soft tip medjools, fresh picked and packaged by Del Real, available soon in Produce. - Travis, Produce Manager
