Medjoul Dates
We don’t like to play favourites, but if dates had a crown, these would be wearing it. Medjoul dates from the Jericho region are known as the King of Dates, and for good reason: big, plump, and intensely caramel sweet.
These are dates to eat slowly with coffee, after supper or straight from the box when no one’s looking. Naturally high in fibre and potassium, they’re as wholesome as they are indulgent, equally at home on a cheeseboard or folded into desserts and stews.
Awarded a Great Taste Award in 2018 and sourced directly from farms in Palestine. Get them because they’re exceptional. The fact that they support Palestinian producers is reason enough to feel good about it.
Zaytoun is an ethical business established to support marginalised farming communities in Palestine.
