These are the most luscious dates you'll ever taste! They are exceptionally large and soft, with strong caramel notes. Serve them whole for a dessert that will impress your guests, or combine them with other fruits and nuts on a platter. They can also be chopped and used for baking, stuffing or cooking. And they're a great simple healthy snack just to eat by themselves.
Our Medjool dates are grown by a 12-member farmer cooperative in Jericho. Water shortages in the area forced farmers to seek out crops that needed less water to grow. Medjool dates not only require less water but can grow using the slightly salty water that sits under reservoirs of fresh water. The dates are processed in a modern PARC packaging plant, where they are inspected for quality, cleaned, sorted, graded and then packaged.
Who Made It: The Palestinian Agricultural Relief Committee (PARC) is a nonprofit organization that promotes sustainable economic development with 41 farmer cooperatives in the West Bank. PARC provides farmers with technical assistance, processing facilities, quality testing, and exporting services. It helps to improve water supply and infrastructure, critical in the West Bank. PARC also provides social services for women, children, and families.
