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

Miriam joined Seward Co-op’s board in 2006, six months after she left her job at the Co-op to work at Eureka Recycling, a local zero-waste nonprofit with a mission to demonstrate waste is preventable, not inevitable. She currently manages Eureka Recycling’s zero-waste event services program and contributes to the research and development of other programs, including resource management contracts and a public space recycling study. Miriam leads waste reduction efforts at events and institutions and oversees hands-on research, data collection and analysis for developing programs. Previously, in between traveling abroad for college, she worked for nearly 10 years at the Co-op. She studied cultural evolution and general anthropology in India and journalism in Costa Rica through Long Island University’s Global College.
