Dates

California-Grown, Sun-Dried, Large Medjool with Pits Orchard Gold Natural Medjool Dates are grown and sun-dried in the heart of the Southern California's Desert, resulting in a sweet, nutritious, natural delicacy available all year long. They are a rich source of fiber, iron, protein, Vitamins A, B, C and D, essential minerals. Date Palms are one of the world's oldest crops thriving before 3000 BC. Today, Medjool Dates are a popular and versatile culinary ingredient because of their sweetness and large size (2-3" long with pits). Often used in desserts, Dates also pair well with cheeses, nuts, spices, prosciutto and other cured meats. They make a wonderful healthy snack on their own or as gifts. Our Dates are Kosher-certified, contain no preservatives, and are best kept frozen or refrigerated to maintain maximum quality. Orchard Gold Natural Medjool Dates are available in hand-packed and hand-sorted, 12-oz or one-lb rounds (2 or 3 per gift box), 2.5-lbs or 5-lbs bulk box quantities.
