My son absolutely loves dates. I never pay attention to varieties, though. I notice that some dates are very different than others, but this is the first side by side comparison I've seen. We even grow some tiny ones in Los Angeles. I think it's the medjool ones that are his dessert often.

You can definitely tell the difference easier when you have a few at the same time. The Medjool are quite delicious as nice sweet treat, but these Barhi fit the bill for that quiet well, also! I've never been out to California, but it would be fun to hit up one of the date farms and get to try multiple types all at once.
