Dates
There are many varieties grown in California and they are divided
into two broad categories: soft and semi-soft or semi-dry. The soft
varieties harvested by hand, when still soft and ripe, have a high
moisture content, lots of sugar, and a mild flavor. Semi-dry dates
are firm, with a lower moisture content.
