Medjool Dates, 1kg

Discovering the Flavour and Texture of Medjool Dates!

Medjool dates, often referred to as 'nature's candy', are prized for their rich, caramel-like sweetness and luscious texture. Larger and softer than other date varieties, Medjool dates have a chewy exterior that gives way to a creamy, almost buttery interior. Their deep amber-brown colour and slight stickiness add to their luxurious appeal. These fruits are naturally sweet without any added sugars, making them a healthy and indulgent treat. With subtle notes of honey, cinnamon and toffee, these exotic delights provide a flavour profile that complements both sweet and savoury dishes.
