There's a lot of talk about replacing candied dates with coconut dates. I think this is impossible because candied dates are made using traditional techniques, while coconut dates are simply fresh dates that have been dried. They can't be compared. The reason why candied dates are added to Lingnan health-preserving soups is the result of experience and wisdom. They help moderate the medicinal properties and enhance their effectiveness.
As for the claim that coconut dates are used in modern drinks, it's because most of the drinks sold in stores contain refined sugar, so they don't use candied dates. When purchasing genuine candied dates, pay attention to whether they are made with the correct ingredients and traditional production techniques. Also, check to see if the other products in the store are of the same quality.
