Notes

Make sure you read the blog thoroughly.
I usually buy pitted Medjool dates because it makes my life easy. But pitting the dates at home is very simple too. It is just one extra step that you have to do.
Make a small slit lengthwise with a knife. Carefully open the Medjool date, and pluck out the seed. There you have it, your pitted date is ready. Repeat until all the dates are pitted.
Store the Stuffed Dates in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze them for a month. Thaw them overnight and enjoy.
I suggest eating just one stuffed date in a day, or it will add onto the extra calories than your usual diet.
