We only get a couple of varieties on the East Coast (Medjool and Diglet), but I occasionally order from Bautista Organic Dates; they have a 7-hot-dates sampler.

Mainly, I eat Medjool, but I would love to try the others listed in this article. The recipes also look great. I eat dates out of the package, but I also add them to banana breads, salads, smoothies, oatmeal, and other baked goods. I even use them as a syrup. I also like them with a smidge of nut butter and coconut. So many ways to enjoy them!

My doctor told me to moderate high oxalate foods to avoid another kidney stone. But I really love dates with walnuts.
