Interested in making the yummy raw brownies in the recipe section. The recipe calls for 2 cups of dates in your food processor. Would the dates need to be pitted first? Thank you in advance.

    Yes, you would definitely need to pit the dates first. Most recipes also call for soaking the dates a bit to soften them up. Just curious . . . which recipe are you preparing?

    Thank you so much! I had actually put my 2 cups of dates into my vita-mix without pitting!!!...and sensed that wouldn't be correct, so my wonderful husband spooned out the gunky mess and found all of the pits for me. I made the raw brownies with dates, cocoa, pecans, and agave. I also felt that I was going to burn the motor up while processing the dates. So maybe if I soak them next time they will be easier.
