Medjool dates are one of the few naturally occurring foods that taste like dessert without any refinement, processing, or added sweetener. The deep caramel, honey, and toffee character of a jumbo Medjool date comes entirely from the fruit itself. Ingredients: Medjool Dates. Manufactured in a facility that also processes Tree Nuts, Wheat, Peanuts, and Soy. Available in five sizes from 8 oz to 5 lb. For the full range of dried fruits, browse the Nuts and Dried Fruits collection, and for a lightly sweetened dried fruit option, see Dried Sour Cherries — Lightly Sweetened.
What You're Buying
Jumbo whole Medjool dates with the pit intact. Over 200 date varieties are commercially cultivated. Medjool commands the premium because it delivers three qualities that commodity varieties do not match: flesh-to-pit ratio, texture, and flavor complexity. Medjool dates have proportionally more flesh relative to pit size than smaller varieties, meaning more edible fruit per piece. The flesh is soft, dense, and almost creamy from the variety's natural moisture content. The flavor profile is categorically more complex than smaller date varieties: a deep caramel sweetness with a slight toffee and honey character that commodity dates do not develop. Jumbo sizing specifically means these are the largest-graded fruit from the harvest, with higher moisture content, softer texture, and more concentrated flavor than standard-size Medjool.
The pit stays intact as a deliberate freshness decision. The pit inside a Medjool date acts as a natural moisture barrier for the surrounding flesh. Pitted dates have an exposed interior cavity where moisture escapes faster, causing the flesh to dry unevenly and harden in storage. Whole dates with the pit retain their plumpness, soft texture, and flavor concentration for significantly longer under the same storage conditions. Removing the pit at home takes two to three seconds per date: press gently, locate the lengthwise seam, and split along it. The pit releases cleanly.
An honest note on the "no sugar added" label: it means no refined sugar, glucose syrup, sucrose coating, or honey glaze was applied at any point in growing, drying, or packing. Every gram of sweetness comes from the fructose and glucose naturally present in the Medjool date at harvest, concentrated as moisture is removed during drying. Medjool dates are naturally high in sugar approximately 19g of natural sugar per oz because that is the composition of the fruit. For buyers searching specifically for dates without added sugar to avoid the glucose-coating treatment common in commercial dried date products: these meet that requirement. For buyers who assumed "no sugar added" meant very low total sugar: Medjool dates are a naturally sweet fruit, and the natural sugar per serving is substantial. People managing blood sugar levels should apply the same portion awareness to Medjool dates as to other naturally high-sugar fruits.
Good For You
- No Sugar Added: Every gram of sweetness in the bag comes from the fruit's own natural fructose and glucose. Zero added sugars per serving confirmed on label.
- Naturally Grown: Medjool dates grown without the glucose-coating or sulfite treatment common in commercial dried date production. The label confirms the naturally grown standard.
- Vegan: Ingredients: Medjool Dates. Suitable for plant-based and vegan eating patterns.
Per one ounce serving (1 oz / 28g): 100 calories, 24g total carbohydrate, 19g total sugars (0g added sugars), 2g dietary fiber, 1g protein, 0g total fat. Calcium: 10mg (2% DV). Potassium: 150mg. Sodium: 5mg. The dietary fiber present in the date matrix slows glucose absorption from the surrounding natural sugars, producing a more moderate blood glucose response than an equivalent serving of refined sugar would generate.
How to Use Medjool Dates
Direct Snacking: A Natural Candy Alternative
One to two jumbo Medjool dates eaten whole as an afternoon snack delivers the caramel sweetness that candy provides from whole fruit with fiber included. The natural caramel character of Medjool satisfies sweet cravings in a way that most whole foods cannot replicate. For people reducing refined sugar intake: eating a Medjool date when a sweet craving hits produces the same sensory satisfaction as a caramel candy while delivering potassium, fiber, and natural fruit polyphenols alongside the sweetness.
As a Natural Baking Sweetener
Pitted and blended with two to three tablespoons of water in a high-powered blender or food processor, jumbo Medjool dates produce a smooth, thick date paste that substitutes for refined sugar in energy balls, raw brownies, smoothie bowls, overnight oats, and baked goods. Two to three blended Medjool dates replace approximately two tablespoons of refined sugar in most recipes. The date paste sweetens through natural fructose and glucose, with the fiber in the date matrix slowing absorption in a way that a white sugar equivalent does not.
Stuffed Dates as an Appetizer or Dessert
Split, pit removed, filled with almond butter, walnut halves, pecan halves, goat cheese, mascarpone, or a piece of dark chocolate. Stuffed Medjool dates are one of the most efficient two-ingredient dessert and appetizer formats available: the date provides caramel sweetness and a soft, meaty vessel, and the filling provides fat, creaminess, or savory contrast. Three stuffed dates at a dinner party pass for a considered dessert and take approximately four minutes to prepare.
In Smoothies
One pitted jumbo Medjool date added to a blender smoothie provides natural sweetness and thickens the smoothie slightly from the date's dense flesh and fiber. Medjool dates are the right choice for smoothie use because the sweetener contribution stays entirely within the natural fruit category, with 0g added sugars contributing to the total.
Choosing the Right Size
Five size options from 8 oz to 5 lb serve different consumption paces and use patterns. At two dates per day as a daily snack, the 8 oz bag provides approximately 15 to 17 days of use. The 1 lb bag extends that to approximately 30 days. The 2 lb bag suits buyers using Medjool dates both as a daily snack and as a baking sweetener simultaneously. The 3 lb and 5 lb options suit regular bakers, households with multiple daily date eaters, or buyers who want to reduce restocking frequency.
Storage
The whole-with-pit format retains freshness longer than pitted dates under all storage conditions.
- Room temperature, sealed resealable bag, away from direct heat and sunlight: up to 3 months of peak texture and flavor.
- Refrigerated in the sealed bag: up to 6 months.
- Frozen in an airtight container: up to 12 months with no significant texture or flavor degradation after thawing at room temperature.
Press the resealable bag closed firmly after each use. Medjool dates will absorb ambient odors in the refrigerator if the bag seal is not maintained. If dates stick together in storage, separate them gently before eating stuck dates are still fresh, they have simply shared natural surface sugars.
