Make sure to check
In the Middle East, people are used to carefully check inside the date before eating it. In the west, however, we blindly trust that because it’s not opened, it’s good from the inside. But that’s not true, dates are full of insects inside. This isn’t good, and we should all carefully open the dates and check them well before consuming them.
Dirt buildup
In addition to insects, dates most likely have dirt buildup in them too. It may be from a different bug, but it’s certainly crap. So, it’s important to check your date cautiously before placing it in your mouth. You may save yourself from eating something extremely gross.
