dried dates

Dehydrated desert sweets

Dried dates are the preserved fruit of the date palm, with moisture removed to concentrate sweetness and extend shelf life.

They're chewy, intensely sweet, and commonly eaten as snacks or used in baking and Middle Eastern cuisine.

Unlike fresh dates, dried dates keep for months at room temperature: She added chopped dried dates to the granola.
