Medjool dates are prized for their large size, soft texture, and rich, caramel-like flavor. Naturally high in sugars and low in moisture, they have a relatively long shelf life when stored properly. To preserve their freshness and prevent drying out, Medjool dates should be kept in airtight containers in a cool, dark place. For extended storage, refrigeration can keep them fresh for up to 6 months, while freezing can extend their shelf life to a year or more. Proper storage helps maintain their moist texture, deep flavor, and natural sweetness without the need for preservatives.
