Definition

Medjool dates are a large variety of date that feature a sweet, almost caramel-like taste. They are oval shaped, with a dark brown color and textured skin. Like all dates, medjool dates have a pit in the middle, surrounded by flesh.

While they are native to Morocco, many farmers grow medjool dates in warm regions of the U.S., the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa. As the harvesting of medjool dates occurs early in the ripening season, they are a soft date. People often sell them dried, but not dehydrated, which makes them soft and sticky. Their sugars concentrate as they dry, which further enhances their natural sweetness.
