Medjoul Dates “The King of Dates”
Dates are the oldest cultivated fruits in the world and were long reserved
for royal hosts, also well known to be a staple source of nutrition for their
high carbohydrate content and high potassium levels.
Out of hundreds of date varieties, Medjoul Dates – also known as the
King of Dates – are known for their spectacular size and majestic flavour.
They are semi-dry, golden to dark brown in colour and have slightly crinkly
shimmery skin.
Medjoul Dates only grow in areas with high heat, low humidity and an abundant
supply of ground water. Originating from Morocco, they were taken by an American
horticulturalist to California because of their destruction through a disease that wiped
them out of their native land.
In Jericho, on the Palestinian side of the Jordan Valley, extensive growing
of Medjoul Dates started in 2005, as a replacement to the traditional
planting of vegetables and banana and citrus trees. The reason is that although
Date palms need a large amount of water and require a complex
and labor-intensive cultivation process, they can bear relatively more
salty water than other tree kinds.
Quality control
All of our procedures are according to the international standard requirements for
quality at the farms and packaging house.
At farm
the trees sharp thons are trimmed in order to protect the date fruit from injuries through the
thorns sharp edges when it ripens.When Madjoul dates color started to be change from green to brown,
each punches wrapped by burlap bags or nylon netting in order to protect them from
insects dust and occasional rain.
Most of our dates collected individually by hand, and not by large clusters then our
dates collected in large plastic trays and preselected at the field tyen they are transported to our storage and packaging house.
