I just bought five organic Medjool dates at a Hy-vee in a dusty bin, but they seemed fine too me. Kind of sticky, though. I don’t think yours are infected with an insect, though! eww.
Google a fresh date and see what it looks like.

there are a bunch of pictures of fresh dates.
Thanks for the ideas guys. I looked at the pictures and couldnt see anything like my dates. However they were so cheap I dont mind throwing some bits away even if there is nothing wrong with them.
Hi there Fee, they are fine, they usually look like that, well maybe 50% of the boxes we get are like that. The sugaryness just gets too much and it all crystalises. That’s what happens with raw un messed with natural food, it misbehaves now and then but it is just the best.
Thanks Zoe, that was the conclusion I came today when making your coconut drink. Ive nearly got the hang of opening a coconut in under three hours! They are just so delicous and sweet and sticky!
