Fall fruits are beginning to trickle into the market, and dates are among them. Yup, dates are a fresh fruit harvested around this time each year. While you’ll see the carmelly, fully-ripened Barhi, Medjool and other varieties nearly year round, blink and you might miss the beloved Yellow Barhi. Barhi are one of the few types of dates that you can eat half ripened, and they’re delicious. They’re still sweet, but less so and with an apple-like crunch that makes them all too easy to snack on.
You can find Yellow Barhi at Flying Disc Ranch on Tuesdays and Saturdays, but only for a few more weeks. We're sad to report that Tropical Storm Hilary destroyed over 25% of their crop just a month ago. It's likely that you'll see less of Flying Disc this year, so get them while the gettin’s good.
Easy Eating: Yellow Barhi are best eaten fresh, but you can get creative with them, too. For breakfast, try them in a Tropical Breakfast Bowl or add some oomph to your fish tacos with a Yellow Barhi “Slawsa”.
