Organic Medjool Dates

General Description

The date is the edible fruit of the date palm. It is a fleshy, oval fruit that measures 4 to 6 cm long with an elongated nucleus on the inside. It is a fruit very high in energy.

Origin

Originally from the basin of the Euphrates where they had established the oldest civilizations of Eurasia, the date palm has been cultivated for a total of 6000 to 8000 years.

The date palm is one of the few plants that can survive in the desert climate and is therefore, a very important source of nutrition for the Nomads.

Nutritional Benefits

The Medjool dates come in a concentrated dose of energy! Rich in sugars and dietary fibre, they are the ideal partner for athletes in search of quick energy boost for their body. They are also very rich in antioxidants and may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and some cancers.

Uses

The dried Medjool date is particularly sweet, satisfying even the most intense sugar cravings while still managing to be a healthy and nutritious snack! Its caramelized and creamy texture makes it an important asset in healthy cuisine making it possible to replace sugar in recipes for baking, smoothies, and other sweet dishes.

For a quick snack, try them with a PRANA cashew (raw or lightly salted) placed in the center. If you are looking for a great almond milk recipe, try our recipe ours that is sweetened with Medjool dates!
