DATE HACK! Follow @kalejunkie for more! Growing up in an Armenian household, we eat lots of dates—LOTS of them. Here’s an easy tip my mom taught me—because dates are expensive and when they get dry and turn into rocks, they don’t taste great, and they are really hard to blend. ⁣ ⁣ Here’s my favorite way to bring them back to life, so they are juicy and plump and ready for your recipes!⁣ Pour boiling hot water over the dates you will be using in your recipe. Wait 10 minutes, pour the water off, and voila, nice and soft again, and ready to use in your recipes.⁣ ⁣ Tag a friend who would like this tip and be sure to FOLLOW along for more!⁣ ⁣ #kalejunkie #dates #medjooldates #foodhacks #datehacks #kitchenhacks #cookinghacks #moneysavingtips #moneysaving #budgetfriendlytips #healthyfood
