Dates, Palestinian Medjoul
Exquisite Palestinian Medjool Dates from Equal Exchange
Indulge in the rich, caramel-like sweetness of Equal Exchange's premium Palestinian Medjool Dates. These exceptionally large, soft, and chewy dates are a delightful treat, perfect for snacking or enhancing your favorite recipes.
Grown by a dedicated 12-member farmer cooperative in the Jordan Valley, established in the early 2000s, these dates are cultivated with sustainability in mind. Facing water scarcity, these innovative farmers chose Medjool dates for their resilience, as they require less water and can thrive on slightly saline water found beneath fresh water reservoirs. In partnership with the Palestinian Agricultural Relief Committee (PARC), the cooperative receives essential support, including technical assistance, processing facilities, quality testing, and export services. This collaboration ensures that each date is meticulously inspected, cleaned, sorted, graded, and packaged, bringing you a product of exceptional quality.
