Tip: Dates

I found this info, and didn't know where to put it.  Then I thought, hello, I have a recipe blog!

Shalaby dates are similar to California Medjool dates, which are the most common dates sold in American supermarkets.  They have a fruity flavor.  Safawy dates are darker and have a rich, almost chocolatey flavor.  Suqaey should be soaked because they're a little dry.
