Medjool dates

Description

Medjool dates are large, meaty fruits with a shiny, slightly wrinkled skin and a deep brown color. They have an intense caramel-honey flavor and a soft, chewy texture that makes them perceived as a natural sweetness with a luxurious character. Nutritionally, they are a concentrated source of natural sugars, fiber, potassium, magnesium, and B vitamins, as well as antioxidants. When consumed in moderation, they support energy delivery, digestion regulation, and electrolyte replenishment after exercise. Culinary uses for Medjool dates include stuffing with nuts and cheeses, blending into smoothies and creams, using as a natural sweetener in baked goods, energy bars, and sauces, as well as adding to salads or couscous dishes. To maintain freshness, store them in a cool, dry place; once opened, it's better to keep them in the refrigerator in an airtight container, and for longer storage, freeze them.
