Mainly harvested in Egypt, Iran and Algeria, this fruit has a delicious<strong>&nbsp;sweet taste<\/strong>. Whether&nbsp;<strong>fresh<\/strong>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<strong>dry<\/strong>, this fruit is also highly valued for its&nbsp;<strong>nutritional qualities.<\/strong>&nbsp;Sometimes, however, we are unsettled when we find&nbsp;<strong>dates that smell of alcohol<\/strong>. So,&nbsp;<strong>why<\/strong>&nbsp;do they develop this smell? Are they still&nbsp;<strong>safe to eat<\/strong>&nbsp;? How can you&nbsp;<strong>avoid<\/strong>&nbsp;this problem?&nbsp;<strong>Dattes Ajwa&nbsp;<\/strong>explains.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why do your dates smell of alcohol?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Because of yeasts and sugar<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have all noticed it: sometimes fruit goes bad without an obvious explanation. In dates, this is often associated with the growth of bacteria, molds and&nbsp;<strong>yeasts<\/strong>. Some yeasts can tolerate the high sugar content of dates. Contaminated fruit then develops an&nbsp;<strong>alcoholic smell.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fruit of the date palm is high in&nbsp;<strong>sugar<\/strong>. That is good news for anyone with a sweet tooth, but it can also be a disadvantage. A certain&nbsp;<strong>sourness<\/strong>&nbsp;may develop. A level of just 25%&nbsp;<strong>moisture<\/strong>&nbsp;in the fruit is enough for&nbsp;<strong>fermentation<\/strong>&nbsp;to make it go bad. This process leaves you with dates that smell of alcohol.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dates therefore undergo&nbsp;<strong>alcoholic fermentation,&nbsp;<\/strong>which explains why they can smell of alcohol. The carbohydrates in the fruit are converted into&nbsp;<strong>alcohol<\/strong>. Yeasts produce and release&nbsp;<strong>energy<\/strong>&nbsp;when they are in a liquid environment without air.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short, the environment is&nbsp;<strong>anaerobic<\/strong>, meaning without oxygen, which allows fermentation to occur.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you notice this smell coming from your dates, we therefore advise you not to eat them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How can you prevent dates from smelling of alcohol?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Through proper<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>storage<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>!<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After harvest, these fruits are ideally kept for&nbsp;<strong>6 to 12 months<\/strong>. The exact time depends on the variety. Also, the&nbsp;<strong>temperature<\/strong>&nbsp;plays an important role in the shelf life of your dates, which is extended by freezing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also enjoy your&nbsp;<strong>dried dates<\/strong>&nbsp;for up to a year under suitable storage conditions. To prevent them from drying out, keep them in a cool place, where the fruit stays&nbsp;<strong>dry<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>fresh<\/strong>. Keep them away from sunlight and air. The best option is an&nbsp;<strong>airtight container.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your&nbsp;<strong>fresh dates<\/strong>\u00a0should be kept in the refrigerator. They can be stored this way for a few weeks at most. You can also freeze them to enjoy later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By protecting them from odors&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, to&nbsp;<strong>preserve their flavor<\/strong>, we recommend keeping dates away from garlic, onions and potatoes, as they&nbsp;<strong>absorb<\/strong>&nbsp;certain&nbsp;<strong>aromas<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There can also be&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.techniques-ingenieur.fr\/base-documentaire\/procedes-chimie-bio-agro-th2\/filiere-de-production-produits-d-origine-vegetale-42433210\/procedes-de-transformation-en-sucrerie-partie-2-f6151\/cristallisation-du-sucre-f6151niv10002.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>crystallization<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/a><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techniques-ingenieur.fr\/base-documentaire\/procedes-chimie-bio-agro-th2\/filiere-de-production-produits-d-origine-vegetale-42433210\/procedes-de-transformation-en-sucrerie-partie-2-f6151\/cristallisation-du-sucre-f6151niv10002.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">of sugar<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/strong>That is why it is best to keep them at a low temperature.
