Dry dates are a type of date that has had its water removed. This can be done through a process of dehydrating, or by allowing the fruit to sit in the sun until it dries out. Once dry, the date will be much smaller than its fresh counterpart and will have a wrinkled appearance. The taste of a dry date is also different from that of a fresh date, as it will be more concentrated and intense.
To deseed a dry date, first cut off one end with a sharp knife. Then, use your fingers to gently pry open the date and remove the pit inside. If the pit is stubborn, you may need to use a small spoon or other tool to help get it out. Once the pit is removed, you can enjoy your dry date!
