      Hi Neha,
      That’s a good try ๐Ÿ™‚ Drying would help to loose moisture and powder would come dry and have shelf life. Now I’am not sure about the newly tried dates powder. You can feed your baby with this. Use keeping in fridge and empty the container as soon as possible ๐Ÿ™‚

      You can try dry roasting the Dates or baking it in oven rather frying it.
