Do the dates arrive pitted? Or with the seeds included?
To preserve the quality of the dates, we do not meddle with them to remove the seeds
Can the dates be stored in a fridge/freezer?
- Yes, of course. All of our dates can be stored to prolong life in a fridge or freezer. Keep in mind that if they are stored for longer periods in cold storage, they will become slightly firmer. To soften them, keep them at room temperature for a day or two and give them a good shake with your hands.
