- Split all 15 dates along the center to remove the seeds. If the dates are fresh and soft, they can go directly into the food processor. If they are quite firm and older, soak them for 5 minutes in cold water to soften first. Add a pinch of salt and begin pulsing to chop them up.15 medjool dates1 pinch sea salt
