Medjool Dates, Organic, 500g

500g of Organic Medjool Dates packed in our plant-based compostable packaging.

Medjool dates are a large, soft variety of date, often described as the “king of dates”. They are usually sold pitted or semi-pitted, and are less dried than many other dates, giving them a fresher, more luxurious texture.

Flavour & texture

Exceptionally sweet with rich caramel, toffee and honey notes. Very soft, moist and sticky, almost fudge-like in texture.

Common culinary uses

• Snacking – eaten plain as a natural sweet treat
• Stuffed dates – with nuts, cheese, nut butter, or chocolate
• Baking – cakes, brownies, energy balls
• Smoothies & blends – for natural sweetness
• Desserts – chopped or puréed
• Savoury dishes – chopped into salads, rice dishes, tagines

Medjool dates are often used whole rather than chopped due to their size.

Using Medjool dates

• Split and pit carefully if not already pitted
• Blend into pastes for baking or sauces
• Chop finely for even distribution
• Pair with salt or bitterness to balance sweetness

Tip: A pinch of salt dramatically enhances their caramel flavour.
