Re: How long do dates stay fresh...
khajoor is a fruit that would survive in normal room temperature between 30 - 70 degrees F.still it will need to be covered partially with a net jar, in open air.
it has fructose and its flavor loses when the temperature is not ideal or is extremely hot.
even though it grows in terrains where hot weather is present, but in hot temperature khajoor will become pruned.
as long as insects and bugs are kept away and the air is not humid, it can survive in room temperature indicated above, but for a couple of months, the best way to preserve khajoor is to keep in colder temperature (fridge) and covered in a lid container.
of course, very long durations and moist or extreme temperature will make it go bad or at least affect its fresh taste.
