I love dates – when I want something sweet, I'd rather eat a date than a candy. Why? Because it's hard to eat just one candy – it's very easy to overeat them. And a date is a natural candy from nature, which is not only pleasantly sweet but also nutritious.

I like that it's a natural, unprocessed sweet – without refined sugar and without any additives. It's especially delicious when the date is rolled in freeze-dried fruit powder – blackcurrants or raspberries give it a wonderful aroma and natural tartness, and with cocoa – it's almost like a chocolate candy.

That's why for me, a date is a small, tasty, and honest pleasure when I want something sweet.
