House hold storage:  

In general, when dates have high moisture content their shelf life tends to be shorter than dates that have less moisture. Our Medjool and Sugary dates are of this type; they need refrigeration and their taste maybe enhanced by chilling. Refrigeration is a must for the Medjool dates and recommended for the Sugary dates. Our Safawi, Mabroom and Sufri dates should be stored at cool room temperature. These dates have longer shelf life without refrigeration compared to the Medjool and Sugary dates; they get hard if refrigerated and soften if placed in slightly warm environment.
