Medjool dates are a variety of dates enjoyed for their natural sweetness.
They’re larger, darker, and more caramel-like in taste than other common types like Deglet Noor.
As tropical stone fruits, they have a single pit surrounded by edible flesh.
Medjool dates come from the date palm tree (Phoenix dactylifera) and are now grown in warm regions of Middle East, South Asia, and Africa.
