Don't throw them out if they start to look white!!!

Dates, packing lots of sugar and relatively little moisture, are generally quite shelf stable. But if they’re stored for too long and exposed to lots of changes in temperature and humidity, their surfaces can develop a white and crusty landscape. 

Such “sugaring” or “sugar bloom” can also show up on raisins, particularly on the ridges of the wrinkles.

You can even revive dried out dates and eliminate the sugaring at home. A little water soak will help, possibly with a little heat from the cooker. But don't let them boil.

To extend the live of your dates keep them in your fridge. You can even freeze them if you think you won't need them for some time.
