What to buy in bulk?

[Raene]

As I'm new to raw, I need some help deciding what I should buy in bulk (a bulk truck visits our community monthly). Almonds are definitely something I'm thinking about...dates? Walnuts, maybe?
What else will I be going through quickly?
Thanks!

Sprouting seeds if your going to sprout! Sunflower seeds are a cheaper alternative to almonds as well.

Mejool dates

cashews

raisins



does the truck have produce as well? :)

[Raene]

No produce sadly.
What is the deal with medjool dates? Why are they so much more than the other kind and can I get away with the cheaper one since I'm on a budget?
Thanks :)

The regualr dates usually are more dry and less meat. The mejool dates are juicer,more meaty and taste sweeter. I don't think the nutritional content differs but taste and texture is night and day.

I sure vote for the medjool dates too. After trying other types I only get these now, they are so meaty and taste like caramel I like them better for a dessert than most anything I've ever enjoyed as a sweet treat before.
