Uses of Stuffed Dates

Storage conditions of dates

Dates can keep for 24 months if kept in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. 

At room temperature, ideally, in a dark kitchen or pantry, they can keep for 1 to 3 months. 

Dates do not require refrigeration but doing so helps retain their quality and prolongs their shelf life beyond 2 years. It is recommended to store them in tight containers.

Rarely do people plan to store dates for a few years by freezing them. In that case, use freezer bags and remove the air before sealing and storing it in the freezer at temperatures below zero.

Quality Control (QC) Policy

Before the production:

Quality control (QC) begins when dates are still on palm trees. Our company performs an annual analysis of the farms and farmers in the region by taking samples of the farms. We use a ranking system of the samples to grade the best farmers and farms. Their detailed profiles are kept in our archives and base our objective judgment of the farms. 

The knowledge-based screening process helps us to have access to the best crops in the region in terms of physical characteristics (such as shape, taste, and color), as well as microbial and chemical specifications (such as larva) of dates. 

During processing:

Quality control continues when selected dates are visually inspected for any signs of external contamination or obvious physical damage, during the processing stage. The care is taken to select only those dates that are in the best condition. Some dates are selected for packaging, and the rest will be used to make date ingredients.

After production:

No product or ingredient is released unless it satisfies all quality requirements based on target market.
