Natural Delights(TM) Medjool Dates Offer Easy Suggestions for Light and Delicious Summer Meals
(firmenpresse) - BARD VALLEY, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 04/24/12 -- Summer bathing suit weather is right around the corner -- which means that the search for summer meals that taste good and are good for you can't be far behind. Knowing that eating healthy doesn't have to mean a diet of lettuce and celery sticks, the growers of Bard Valley Natural Delights Medjool Dates, the country's leading Medjool date brand, have created six delicious new guilt-free recipes for the summer.
"There are so many culinary possibilities with Medjool dates during the summer -- from salads and smoothies to nutrition bars and roll-ups," said Ed O'Malley, president of Datepac, the country's largest packer and shipper of Natural Delights Medjool Dates in the United States. "Medjool dates are packed with important vitamins and minerals, and thanks to their naturally-sweet taste, are a great way to add flavor to summer meals."
