Dried Fruit Desserts

Dates fruit is a big staple of the Mediterranean diet. It’s a healthy choice that provides a lot of nutritional value. The dates are the most widely eaten fruit in the Mediterranean, and dates are easy to prepare. They’re available at gourmet supermarkets as dried fruits. I’ve even used dates in place of sugar in my morning cereal for a few weeks.

When you buy dates from the store, be sure and read the dates labels carefully. The dates should state whether they’re organic or not, and how they were prepared. The type of dates used to prepare this dish will have an effect on its nutritional value. Here’s a quick guide to buying good dates fruit dried.

Purchase good-quality dates from a reputable store. Do some research and find out which suppliers offer the best quality dates. Look for fresh dates rather than processed ones. The dried form of the fruit will be less perishable if it has been kept at room temperature. Try to buy your dates directly from the store.

When purchasing dates from the store, inspect them closely. Are they still good? Check the dates inside, too. If you find any signs of damage, such as discoloration, you should toss those dates before using them again. You can also check with a friend or co-worker if she or he can recommend a store where they receive their dates from.

When buying dried dates, don’t forget their seed. Most people aren’t interested in eating the seeds, so be sure and get the dates with all the right amounts of dried fruit. You’ll get more uses out of them if you have the right amount.

When you purchase your dates, look for a variety. Buy enough to use in recipes. That’s usually how much you’ll need. If you’re planning on freezing the dates, think about how many you want to freeze at once. Some freeze dates, such as the ones from the grocery store, freeze well in a single package.

Dried dates taste best when they are freshly squeezed. To do this, simply remove the seed from the dates before you store them. Store them in the refrigerator for up to a week. While they will keep for a few weeks, eating them right out of the refrigerator is not the best idea. These dates lose their flavor quickly.

When buying dates from the store, check the expiry date on the bag. Once an expiry date has appeared, it’s time to throw the dates away. For those who are willing to let them sit out for a longer period, there are methods for keeping them fresh and usable for longer periods of time. Follow these suggestions and you won’t have any problems with the dates you purchase.

Dried dates can be stored in an airtight container, such as a freezer bag. Keeping them in the freezer will help preserve them. After defrosting them and putting them into an airtight container, store them in the refrigerator until you use them.

You can use dried fruits in a variety of recipes. You can make dates that are great for snack foods or desserts. To make dried apple crisp, take a handful of dry apple pieces, rip them into small pieces. Add sugar to the pieces and mix them together. Use a food processor to liquefy the apple mixture and then pour it over dates or other smooth foods.

Other great uses for dates include making granola, using them in baking, and extracting the pulp to use in juices and smoothies. To extract the dates, simply place them in a food processor and process until they’re a smooth paste. Date pulp is great for juicing or creating your own yogurt.

When buying dates, try to buy ones that are dry and not frozen. The dates will keep for a few days but once they’re placed in the freezer, they become dry and brittle. They won’t store for very long. To store them, you can wrap them in a piece of cellophane and store them in the fridge. Store any dates you buy in this manner in a container with a lid to keep them fresh and use in a few days.
