More Medjool Dates

I LOVE dates. I enjoyed the most amazing dates on a work trip to Saudi Arabia several years ago. I had tried several different date varieties and they were all incredible.

churchilllafemme , you freeze dates? I thought they kept well at room temperature because they are dried. If you are into dates, Flying Disc Ranch has many varieties and sells them mail order.

The dates I buy from California are juicy and moist, not dry, so I think they last much longer when frozen.

I've had them spoil when left in the refrigerator, so I freeze mine also. They don't really freeze.

From http://flyingdiscranch.com/dates.html:

"Dates like a cool and dry environment. After we harvest the dates, we keep them in a walk-in cooler on the ranch that is kept at 36 degrees F. Dates store well at room temperature depending on their moisture content. In general, zahidi and deglet noor dates need no refrigeration whereas medjhool and barhi store much better cold."

Perhaps try zahidi or deglet noor dates if you want to store them for a long time? Or just eat them right away. They are great with coffee in the morning.

Well, I am down to my very last Medjoul date, in the refrigerator. I was forbidden to buy any more because dates are not on our lockdown stockpile list for the freezer. Damn.

that's a shame. my wife made some bacon wrapped dates a few months back that were delicious. I think she might of stuffed them with cheese, too..
