Question:
How do you wash medjool dates? They are so flacky they are difficult to scrub or wipe dry.
— Diane Dankert
Answer:
Yes, I totally know what you mean on this. I typically, if I'm going to do this, I'm going to do the same method I do with my greens or I'm gonna fill up a bowl with water, put them in there, and then kind of push down over and over to be able to make that happen. Then use, uh, or to release anything that's on them, any of the dirts that are on those. Um, I might put just a dash of vinegar in the water as well too, of dates in particular. Um, and then, you know, just vigorously push them down to the water. Let me know the debris, fall to the bottom, bring them out, put 'em onto a towel, and then dry them off very well and then use them right away for those as well too.
