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.
As the American Egg Board notes, the dates you see on egg cartons are not food safety dates. They are most commonly used as a guide for stores to know how long they can sell the eggs. Raw eggs will maintain their best quality for about 3 weeks after the sell by, use by, best by, or expiration date on the carton, assuming continuous refrigeration. Most cartons must also have a so-called Julian date stamped on the side, which indicates the date the eggs were packed. They will still be perfectly safe to use for at least 4 to 5 weeks after that date, provided they've been properly refrigerated and are not cracked or otherwise damaged. If you want to store your eggs for longer than five weeks, your best bet is to freeze them, following the instructions outlined here.
