Because dates absorb water very quickly, washing them can ruin not only their appearance, but also their taste.
Let's make a reservation: due to improper washing.
If you clean dried fruits according to the simple rules in this article, you can be sure that nothing like this will happen to them.
To ensure that the substances used to process dates are removed, it is worth using a soap solution, in which the fruit should be immersed for 3-5 minutes.
During the soaking process, it is useful to rub the fruit with a sponge or toothbrush to get rid of any hard plaque. Do not scrub too hard to avoid damaging the skin.
After soaking, the fruits should be placed in a sieve and thoroughly rinsed under a strong stream of cold water.
Then the dates need to be dried. To do this, they are laid out on towels or napkins, covered with the same towel or napkin on top, and the fabric is changed as it gets wet.
You can also dry dates by blowing cold air on them.
Regardless of the drying method, dried fruits should be allowed to air for 10-12 hours before consumption.
