How to clean red dates

First, fill half of the basin with warm water. The warm water should not be hot, about 40 degrees Celsius. This water temperature will not cause the loss of nutrients in the red dates when washing them.

Add flour and salt to warm water. Flour has an adsorption effect and can absorb the small sand in the gaps of red dates. Salt can accelerate the separation of sand and red dates. This makes cleaning more convenient, quick and effective.

Then pour red dates into the water, stir slowly for a while, and wait for about half an hour, the mud and sand in the red dates will be almost separated, and the water will become very dirty.

The best thing is to take the red dates out of the basin, replace them with clean water and simply wash them twice.

Drain the moisture and dry the red dates, so that you can slowly enjoy the delicious food. It is very good to use it to make tea or eat it dry, which is healthy and nutritious.
