MEDJOOL dates, which ones to choose??

Posted by Jolien Vermeersch on July 23, 2015 at 7:31am

Hey guys, got a question on ''Medjool Dates''.

I'm a big fan of Freelee the Banana girl and she always adds these kind of dates to her smoothies. I love them too! I've been reading the packages of the ones sold at my local Moroccan fruitshop and some of them say there's 'Glucose Syrup' in them, is this normal? Is that why they're so juicy and sweet? Or are the natural ones also this juicy and sugary?

OR is added glucose syrop normal for medjool dates and not a problem for my health?

Thanks!

Jolien

    You have dates. Which are just dates.. and than you have the dates who get a sugar bath. I would never use those.. they have loads of refind sugar added.

    I would definitely opt for a pack without added sugar than one with it ... whenever carbs are listed as "syrup" that's usually a bad sign

    That's strange. I wonder if its a preservative? Where do you live? I don't think its a huge problem, but probably shouldn't eat them in large quantities.

      I live in Belgium, I'm going to upload some pictures of the choices of dates I have this week so you can check them out if you want :)
