different types of dates have different seasons, when muslims break their fast in Ramadhan it is usually with a piece of date and some yoghurt drink or bitter arabic coffee (shot like sizes)
Omani dates are used to make various types of dishes, bread, sweets, etc
I normally like the dates that are mashed, and not the fresh ones as the picture..but thats up to your preference
What to buy: If you can find the mashed dates with sesame seeds, their yummy! you take a bit with your fingers (not a full handful) and mash it a bit more before you chuck it in
What to pay: dates are expensive (in demand), better types cost more
depending on the season and quantity.
