Harvest update: The Medjool dates are turning from Harvest update: The Medjool dates are turning from green to yellow now. The fruit bunches will be covered with fine mesh bags now - these protect the ripening dates from hungry bugs and birds, help protect from rain, dust and debris while allowing the fruit to breathe and dehydrate. Once yellow they will slowly begin turning brown and softening. The dry, hot desert temperatures work their magic by breaking down the tannins in the flesh, softening the dates, concentrating the sugars and gradually dehydrating the fruit. This process converts the hard, astringent dates you see here into the soft, gooey, sweet, caramely dates we love. #4weekstogo #bestwaitever #medjooldates #bestdatesever #worththewait #caramel #coachellavalley #meladucodates
The little bunch that could... nature is amazing. The little bunch that could... nature is amazing. This little date bunch emerged twisted, then wound its way behind the notch of a former frond since removed, and despite its inconvenient location, grew its little dates anyway. Too small to cultivate, this little bunch caught my eye more than any other. A testament to the miracle of nature thriving even in imperfect circumstances. This little bunch will feed the birds and other hungry residents in the desert instead. Grow little dates grow. #datepalms #medjooldates

Today is National Avocado Day! In honor of another Today is National Avocado Day! In honor of another iconic California fruit (yes, avocado is a fruit) we created this two bite Date & Avocado snack. To make stuff a few of our gooey sweet dates with slivers of ripe avocado, then season them with a squeeze of lime, a pinch each of smoked sea salt and smoked Spanish hot paprika (arbol or even cayenne works well too). Our riff on the traditional Mexican street snack (fruit, lime, chile, salt) is unique and surprisingly tasty. Bonus points for the superfood combination. To learn more about the Mexican tradition of seasoning fruit this way check out this piece by @acstockwell in @epicurious! 👇🏻 https://www.epicurious.com/expert-advice/fruit-chile-lime-salt-recipe-article. #avocado #nationalavocadoday #medjooldates #itstartswithagreatdate #meladucodates #stuffeddates
