Medjool

Large sweet date

Medjool is a variety of date prized for its large size, soft texture, and rich caramel-like sweetness.

Originally from Morocco, Medjools are often called the "king of dates" and command premium prices.

They're eaten fresh, stuffed with nuts or cheese, or used in smoothies and baking as a natural sweetener: I snack on Medjool dates instead of candy.
