Medjoul Dates

What Are  Medjoul Dates?

Medjoul Dates differ from other varieties in a number of ways. These are actually bred for their ripeness and juiciness and also cultivated in a specific Geographical Region - Palestine and Jordan. The variety we sell (Zaytoun Medjoul Dates) are also as part of a movement to support Palestinian Farmers and to promote fairer trade in the region; which is always nice to be a part of!

Why Should I Get Medjoul Dates?

These dates are no doubt some of the juiciest dates you will eat, bursting in your mouth as you sink your teeth into them. They are soft, sticky and tremendously sweet...think sticky toffee pudding!

They are an exceedingly healthy treat, being rich in calcium, sulphur, iron, potassium, phosphorous, manganese, copper and magnesium which are all beneficial for health, not to mention the wealth of vitamins they possess too. Some health specialists have said that eating one date per day is necessary for a balanced and healthy diet, and it is not hard to see why!

You can consume dates in tons of ways too, but dates in particular are especially good just as they are! Our favourite thing to do with them is to make a paste and mix it with milk, yogurt or bread and butter to make them even more delicious. They are also very popular in no bake, raw desserts and are ideal for such uses.
