Description

Storage: Store in tightly closed containers in the freezer or refrigerator. When stored frozen, in an airtight container, dates can retain their quality for up to one year.

Preparation and cooking: Dates are delicious when eaten fresh or added to muffins, cookies, and salads. Dip them in chocolate or roll them in coconut for a classic dessert. Use them for hor d’oeuvres by spreading cream cheese or peanut butter. (Editor note Not too sure about the peanut butter option!)
