Product Description
Medjool Dates
Medjool dates are large, soft dates with a deep, caramel-like taste, often eaten as a snack or stuffed with nut butter. They are sticky and chewy, with skin that wrinkles slightly and flesh that feels almost like fudge.
What Medjool Dates Taste and Feel Like
Medjool dates are bigger and softer than most other dates you will find in the shops. The flavour is rich and sweet, with notes of caramel and a little toffee. The flesh is thick and moist, so the dates can be eaten straight from the pack without any preparation.
Because they are so soft, they mash easily. That makes them useful in baking and in no-bake recipes where you need a sticky binder.
Ways to Use Medjool Dates
Medjool dates work as a snack, a sweetener and a binder. Here are some common ways to use them:
- Stuffed with peanut butter, almond butter or cream cheese for a quick snack
- Blended into a smooth paste for energy balls, flapjacks and no-bake bars
- Chopped into porridge, overnight oats or granola
- Blended into smoothies and milkshakes for sweetness
- Cooked into sticky toffee pudding or date and walnut loaf
- Served with Arabic coffee or tea, or eaten to break the fast at iftar
If you are planning a batch of energy balls or a date caramel, add a pack to your basket ahead of time.
Medjool Dates or Other Dates: What Is the Difference?
Medjool dates are larger, softer and stickier than Deglet Noor dates, which are smaller and firmer. Deglet Noor dates are easier to chop neatly and hold their shape in baking. Medjool dates break down more, which suits pastes, caramels and anything you want to be gooey.
For eating whole or stuffing, Medjool dates are the usual choice because of their size and soft bite.
Tips for Preparing Medjool Dates
Medjool dates are easy to prepare, but a few small steps help. Medjool dates normally have a stone, so if yours still has one, slit the date open and pull it out before chopping or blending.
If the dates feel firm, soak them in hot water for about 10 minutes and drain them well. This makes them softer and easier to blend into a smooth paste. A little warm water in the blender also helps.
Medjool Dates FAQ
Do Medjool dates need to be soaked?
No, Medjool dates do not need soaking if you are eating them whole. Soaking only helps when the dates are firm and you want to blend them into a smooth paste.
Do Medjool dates have a stone inside?
Medjool dates usually have a single stone in the middle. Check each date and remove the stone before you chop, blend or stuff them.
Can I use Medjool dates instead of sugar in baking?
Yes, many home bakers blend Medjool dates into a paste and use it to sweeten cakes, bars and flapjacks. The paste adds moisture and a caramel taste, so the finished bake will be softer and darker.
Add Medjool dates to your basket for your next batch of stuffed dates or date-sweetened bakes.

We take great care when preparing and securely packing every order; however, during transportation, parcels may be handled by several parties, including the courier, and despite our best efforts, minor cosmetic damage such as dents, marks, scuffs or damage to external packaging may occasionally occur. Minor cosmetic damage that does not affect the product’s safety, quality or intended use will not normally be considered a product defect. This is particularly applicable to products supplied in cans, tins, plastic containers, boxes or similar packaging. If you receive a product that is broken, leaking, materially damaged, unsafe, unusable or otherwise not as described, please contact us within 24 Hours of delivery by email or telephone and provide your order number, details of the issue and clear photographs of the damaged product and packaging. We may require further information or evidence to investigate the matter and, where necessary, may take up to 14 days to complete our investigation. Where damage appears to have occurred during delivery, we may need to raise a claim with the courier, and you may be required to complete and return any Damage on Receipt (DOR) form or other documentation requested by the courier before the claim can be processed. Some products we sell are price-marked or display a manufacturer’s recommended or printed retail price. Please note that our online selling prices may differ from the price printed on the product because online orders involve additional costs such as picking, packing, packaging materials, warehouse handling, payment processing, website administration and delivery-related costs. You may therefore receive a product displaying a printed or recommended retail price that is lower than the price you paid online. The price you agree to pay is the online selling price displayed on our website at the time you place your order, and the presence of a lower printed or recommended retail price on the packaging does not, by itself, mean that the online purchase price was incorrect. Product images displayed on our website are for illustration and presentation purposes only. Actual product packaging, branding, design, colour, size, shape or appearance may vary depending on availability, manufacturer, batch or packaging updates. Such variations do not necessarily indicate that the product supplied is different from the product ordered, provided that the product itself corresponds to the description and specifications stated on the website. We ask customers to check their order and products as soon as reasonably possible after delivery and contact us promptly if there is any material damage, fault, incorrect item or issue with the goods.
