wud that be fine to use? to boil with water?

Naila said...

Also about how much gram is 3/4 cup dried dates?

Arabic Bites said...

Naila,
Fresh dates as shown in the picture & it's optional.
Dried dates:dried over ripped fresh dates.
& yes the recipe call for dried dates.
3/4 cup dried dates i think = 171 grams
Hope this help.
