Organically grown in California, USA, our dates are large and moist, naturally flavourful, low in fat and high in potassium making them a healthy way to satisfy a sweet craving. A tender skin encases soft, golden-brown flesh that is sweet and succulent with a full fruity flavour.

Dates are believed to have been a valued food source for thousands of years. Known for their health benefits, Medjool Dates are chock-full of potassium, the mineral that protects the heart by keeping sodium levels in check and preventing high blood pressure, high in fibre and supply important minerals like calcium, magnesium and copper. Dates are also a great source of B-Complex vitamins that are essential in assisting the body by helping to convert food into energy.

These succulent Organic Medjool Dates are a wonderful quick snack on their own, in lunch boxes, on a cheese and fruit plate. Pit and chop Medjools for a delicious addition to raw food recipes, muesli, or include them with seeds and nuts in an energising trail mix when you’re on the go. In savoury recipes, dates can be used in sauces, pickles, chutney and stuffing; and add sweetness to rice, couscous or quinoa, robust vegetarian dishes, poultry and meat. Their large size makes them perfect for stuffing, once the pit is removed.
Not only are Medjools delicious; their soft, stickiness is a great binder for slices, energy balls and muesli bars. Dates are also yummy in home-baked fruit bread, scones, muffins, biscuits and cakes – and truly delicious in puddings!
