Be careful from Dates

Dates (and any other dried fruits such as raisins, currants, sultanas) are not wise choices for us. They need to be avoided. Full of sugar!

I hated giving up dates. I always had a box of "Eat Me" at Christmas, and they did not last very long! I liked date steamed pudding as well. I avoid all dried fruit now, because as Bluetit says, they are sugar loaded. OK for a snack for people with normal blood sugar -at least they are better than sweets, but not for us unfortunately. Another pleasure gone!
