Flying Disc Ranch offers California grown dates and seasonal Marsh grapefruit. Marsh grapefruit have floral undertones and are aromatic and sweet, with low, tangy acidity.
Additionally you’ll find another specialty of theirs—a natural date syrup! Dates, in general, are a wonderful natural sweetener and are often used in energy bars for that sweet taste we enjoy. The date syrup can be used in quick breads and cakes, much like you would use honey or maple syrup. It has a rich caramel-like flavor that is particularly nice with whole wheat bread.
Dates are a nutritional powerhouse, packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals like potassium, magnesium, and vitamin B6. They provide sustained energy and can aid digestion due to their high fiber content.
Flying Disc Ranch is at the Monterey Farmers Market as well as the Saturday Aptos Farmers Market at Cabrillo College.
