In Chinese, it is called Hong Zao (Red dates) and it is popular in Chinese dishes such as tonic soups and desserts.
For traditional chinese medicine it is drink as a tonic for those who has a low count of red blood cell and to replenish energy. It add a glow to your face if you are pale looking. It must be drink over a period of time.
To make into red date tea, first soak the dried fruits to remove dust and wait for the fruits to turn soft. Remove the seeds. In a pot of water, boil red dates and dried longans until the colours from the dried fruits desemminate into the water and add sugar into it.
I generally like them in my lotus roots soup, tonic chicken soup and desserts such as cheng teng

Nah but i am sure it tastes good
When I was a chef and worked in Southeast Asia in Singapore and while visiting both Thailand and Vietnam they are quite popular, along with the mangosteen.
Most people would like them, but like the first time you enjoy the durian fruit it is a long time love or hatred from the start, you can buy them in bulk from a California produce supplier called Mellisa's.
I get them here in Toronto Canada from both my Chinese and Korean markets, they are nice dehydrated too.
I have, but I don't really like them. I do have a tree of them in my backyard that other family members love.
