Dear Friends,
We’re excited to have for our members a food that perhaps is new to you. They’re a real treat – Bahri dates, introduced originally from the region of Iraq, are available for only a short time late summer. Probably not found in your usual grocery store so we’re pleased to offer them to you. These little treats are grown locally by the small date farm that supplies our regular dates and are ready for enjoying. They are harvested right before their sugar content is optimized and at this stage they are like a tasty little apple, crisp and sweet. As their natural sugars start, small brown spots appear. It means they’re ripening to their sweetest and are edible at all stages. Hope you enjoy them. they’re only for this week.
We know many of our subscribers are enthusiastic about getting freshly harvested food from Seabreeze Family Farm. It would be helpful if you could take a photo of a plate you prepared with your farm share and post it on our Facebook page and on Next Door so your friends and neighbors could also benefit from your neighborhood’s locally grown food.
We look forward to seeing how you transform your Seabreeze ingredients.
