Many date varieties can be supplied in this raw, unaltered and nutritious format and can be packed in various vessels such as plastic tubs, paper cartons and poly bags to name a few. For additional protection against infestation, these packs are nitrogen-flushed, to ensure product freshness. The dates remain loose and can easily be handled. With a re-sealable pack option, loose dates can be stored in the refrigerator for future consumption.
