My gran and great aunt used to make a much naughtier version of this slice using raspberries (and loads of sugar!) Apart from having loads in my freezer, dates are rich in magnesium and phosphorus…which are great tonics for our nervous systems. Almonds bring a quality source of protein and calcium.

My very old and very flimsy cardboard ‘medicine chest’ was in major need of a Zero Waste overhaul.
