Their ingredients are a hit.

Medjool dates are the fruit of the date tree(Phoenix dactylifera). Medjool is a special variety of Israeli dates, known as 'winged dates', which are much larger, sweeter and more nutritious than others. They have a distinct cinnamon scent and honey-caramel flavour and are therefore most often used to flavour sweet dishes.

Thanks to the unique combination of natural sugars and fibre, dates are a great healthy snack to give you energy for any activity.

Our Organic Medjool Dates are 100% natural, grown using organic methods. Therefore, they retain a lot of minerals, fiber and other valuable health benefits.

Organic Medjool dates are packed with goodness. They do not contain any preservatives such as sulphur dioxide or added sugar, yet they are very sweet!

What makes dates great?

Dates are naturally high in carbohydrates while being low in fat. They have a pleasantly sweet taste and a welcome aroma. Due to their high content of highly utilizable glucose, they are a rich and quick source of energy. They are therefore great for athletes before physical exercise, as a healthy snack or sweet treat.

In dates we find important nutrients that contribute to maintaining health and internal harmony of the organism on a physical and spiritual level. Most notably, vitamin B6. Of the minerals, dates are a rich source of potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, manganese and copper. They contain important antioxidants such as flavonoids and carotenoids.

In addition, dates contain useful fiber, which is beneficial for maintaining a well-functioning workout.

The range of our dates

The home of Medjool Organic Sweet Dates is Israel. The sunny Middle East is known for the best varieties of dates there ever were. Here, too, dates are an important part of the traditional cuisine.

They are often roasted on a baking tray or pressed into a loaf called "adshu".

Our Medjool Organic dates have been grown according to the principles of controlled organic farming. Thanks to this, they retain their nutritional richness in the highest quality.

After harvesting, they are sun-dried for several days. They preserve their variety and their typical golden colour. After drying, the dates are washed and carefully hand-sorted. The dates are not sweetened or sown.

And something else interesting

Date palms have been cultivated by man for more than 5,000 years. They are written about in both the Bible and the Koran.

Since ancient times, the date palm has spread from its original homeland of Mesopotamia, today's Ireland, to vast dry and warm areas such as Algeria, Egypt, Israel and even California, where it is now widely cultivated.

Storage:

Store in a cool, dark and dry place (0 - 4°C, max. 70% humidity). Always close the packaging tightly after use.

Sometimes the sugar in the dates may start to crystallise after a long period of storage. This, however, does not change their nutritional value. In this case, it is sufficient to soak the dates in hot water.
