After him [the Eighth Dalai Lama, Jamphel Gyatso], the 9th and 10th Dalai Lamas died before attaining their majority: one of them is credibly stated to have been murdered and strong suspicion attaches to the other.
Label the bag so youâll know when you bought them. Fresh dates will keep at room temperature for about 45 days. Dates stored in the refrigerator are good for up to 6 months, and frozen Medjool dates keep for up to a year. Dried dates can be refrigerated for a year, or frozen for as long as 5 years. If the dates develop a dusty exterior over time, it simply means the sugars are making their way to the surface.
Step 2. Place dry dates in the refrigerator to keep them for eating or using in recipes within the next few months. Dry dates will keep for two or three months with no refrigeration, but will last up to eight months in the refrigerator. Soft dates will not last quite as long. Freeze dates to preserve for later use. Slightly unripe dates will last a few months longer than fully ripe dates, but they will both last for over a year. Cut date pieces to a desired shape or size and place in a fruit dehydrator. Once dehydrated, place the dates in a storage container.
