They are dried and and won’t blend into the smoothie.

Actually, when I hear the word “date” I always picture the dried version. They’re much more common here than fresh ones. Probably makes sense, since we don’t grow them here.
But you’re probably right about them not blending in.

The American dates are also dried, but they are more like prunes or raisins so they can easily be used in making a smoothie.

But Korean dried dates are not wet at all and they are also not as sugary. They are used in certain Korean dishes, such as Samgyetang, or Yakshik.

Are the Korean ones tasty, though?

It’s pretty mild flavored and some people like to eat the fresh dates. The fresh ones are a bit similar to apples (but much smaller with a pit in the middle), but not as sweet or juicy as apples. I use the dried ones in cooking time to time and they provide a bit of sweetness.

I like eating pudding from time to time or ice cream or corn chips but there must be a moderation to it :laughing: This is why I prefer to watch drama during dinner in the evening. I eat a sandwich or a tost with some green tea next to me and after that I am already so into the plot, that I forget about the food -which is good, because it’s hard for me to forget about the food normally hahah :joy:

I don’t specifically plan out snacks for my drama watching time, but I do often watch while I am eating lunch, so whatever I happen to be eating that day.

Ice cream is always a good option for late night viewing. :ice_cream:

Mirjam, the Korean dates are just Jujube dates, the red ones, often we see in dramas they make tea, I think also liquor. and cooked in dishes. I have them too, but haven’t used them much yet since you have to cook/simmer them. Perhaps more suited for winter months.
