I just bit into a date and it was filled with black powder! I've been eating dates for years and this never happened before! But this was the first time I didn't put them in the fridge. I just bought them also. Does anybody have similar stories to share?

    dates can go bad??

    I had no idea!

    I never put my dates in the fridge and sometimes i leave them in the cupboard for months at a time. . .

    I thought that they are dried fruit and so they can't go bad.

    yikes. now I'm scared.

    for recipes that call for dates, are you supposed to use fresh dates or dried dates?

    I usually use dried dates because I didn't know you could buy fresh dates.

    thats what I use!

    I thought they were dried though.

    I have the same kind of question as Mikfizzle.

    I like the brand of dates they sell at stop and shop, sunsweet brand I think. For some reason they taste a lot better than the dates sold at whole foods or at trader joes. Are they raw? Are all dates the same?
