Dates? Of the fruit kind

[ICJump]

I'm an Aussie ww member.
Here medjool dates are seen as fresh. And so get 0 smart points
When I was a U.K. Member fresh dates were 0 but medjool dates were pointed as dried.

Is that the same now?

8 points for 50g. It's the sugar.

That was might thought they are like any dried fruit.

I think it's because you can't get proper fresh dates in Australia and people think medjool are fresh because they aren't in packets
