Are fruit dates allowed on Passover?

Here's why:

* Dates are fruits. Fruits are generally considered kosher for Passover, as they are not made with grains, legumes, or their derivatives, which are the ingredients that are forbidden during Passover.

* Dates are not leavened. They do not contain any grains or ingredients that would cause them to rise.

However, be mindful of the following:

* Check the packaging. Some dates may be packaged with ingredients that are not kosher for Passover, such as honey or other sweeteners. Make sure to check the ingredients list carefully.

* Be aware of potential additives. Some dates may be treated with chemicals or preservatives that are not kosher for Passover. If you are unsure, it is best to purchase dates from a reputable source that specifically markets Passover-approved products.

Overall, dates are a delicious and kosher option for Passover, as long as you choose them wisely and check the packaging.
