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.
Instructions For Use:
Snack on them alone straight from the bag. Add them to cakes, desserts, porridge, cereal bowls, smoothies or yoghurt. Blend pitted dates in a food processor until they form a paste, and use it as a sweetener.
Storage Instructions:
Store in a cool dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat and damp. Reseal when no longer in use or move to an airtight container.
Packaging Details:

How does ArtisanBox work?
2. Packed by the Artisan: We don't use dusty warehouses. Once you order, our makers are notified immediately. They hand-pick and pack your items direct from their own farm, butchery, or kitchen.
3. Direct-to-Door Delivery: Because our artisans prioritise freshness, your items are shipped straight to you. If you order from multiple makers, your treats may arrive in separate packages, ensuring each one travels the shortest distance possible to stay at its best.
Individual shipping rates apply per artisan to ensure they can use their preferred specialist couriers.
How does shipping and delivery work?
We attempt to make this clear to you throughout the process via the following:
* On each product page we show the vendor details, the estimated shipping and delivery dates and the shipping cost for a given product.
* We display estimated delivery times in basket, checkout and confirmation email.
* At checkout we display the number of deliveries and associated costs (if any) with each shipment.
Individual vendors may offer free delivery when a minimum threshold or amount is reached. If so, this is messaged in the lime green shipping and delivery information just below the buy buttons on a product page. We offer a Delivery Pass subscription that offers subsidised and free delivery as well.
How do subscriptions work?
100% Fresh. 100% Guaranteed.
