Of course you can try eating them when they&#8217;re &#8220;fresh&#8221; and crunchy, but they are silky and smooth when they bruise, or ripen over a few days. If you don&#8217;t do it right, they could simply turn to mold and skip the golden process of ripening. Simply place them in a breathable container or bag on your counter for a few days and watch each date ripen on its own time. If you wrap in plastic, they could produce mold, since that reduces the amount of air circulating around them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Pick when each one is fresh and eat as desired.
