Medjool Dates
Medjool dates can be used in both raw and cooking methods. Their natural sweetness makes them great for eating fresh, just take care when biting into one as many whole dates still have pits, though some commercial sellers will package dates that are pre-pitted. The large size of Medjool dates lends well for stuffing with sweet or savory fillings such as marzipan, candied orange, lemon peel, tahini, goat or blue cheese, bacon, or nuts like almonds, pecans, walnuts, and pistachios. Dates can also simply be chopped into salads, sandwiches, and pasta or rice dishes, and their sweetness is a great complement to many savory vegetable and meat dishes, like lamb, pork, or poultry. Dates are also often blended into smoothies, pressed into syrup, or used in baked goods like cakes, cookies, desserts, pies, and bread. One of the most popular baked applications being maamoul, a Middle Eastern cookie filled with date pudding.

Storage advice
Although their high sugar content makes dates fairly shelf stable, they can be kept fresh for longer when stored in the refrigerator. They'll keep safely for about a month to a month and a half at room temperature, up to 6 months in the fridge, and up to a year in the freezer.
