My husband has a serious thing for dates since I bought him several packages of Caramel Naturale dates from our local grocer. Of course, the grocer is now inept at purchasing more of these dates so I had to head out to trusty Amazon to find a suitable replacement.

These dates were very good. They were large, sweet, plump and just like the other brand of Medjool dates. Of course now Amazon is short on the other dates so I went with the dates from the Bergen Nut company and paid more and was seriously disappointed in the quality of the dates.

So when they are in stock my suggestion would be to stock up on a couple packs if you are really into eating dates daily. I find myself missing these little beauties now that we have run out and they are worth the price as they are very healthy and loaded with vitamins and minerals. Speaking of price - if you are wondering - yes these are a solid value compared to others. The packages are large, larger than the Caramel Naturale dates I had been buying.

These are also delicious over ice cream, search around for some recipes. I know Anthony Bourdain did a show where they showed chopped dates in a milkshake which looked sublime..:)

Wholeheartedly recommend!
And as a side note, if you purchase from Amazon and ever have issue with the quality of a purchase CALL them! They have the best CS on earth (and I have been shopping online for 12 years now so I know) and they want to make right if you are displeased.

Very pleased! Plump and sweet! The shipping was quick. I will definitely order from this company again! I especially love the packaging the dates came in, which fit nicely in the fridge.

I just wolfed down 4 of these delicious dates. I love dates and these are as good as any I've ever had. Though I ordered with Amazon Prime two day shipping but it took 4 business days to arrive. The packaging is quite convenient. I would definitely order these again... though I now have 4 lbs in my fridge so it will be a while!

...for my mother. She loves dates, and I try to send her some every few months. She said they taste just as good as some I had sent from a different company. She liked how they are packed in 1-lb. containers because she only eats a couple every day. Very pleased with my purchase.

I've ordered these dates several times now and have never been disappointed. I never really liked dates until I tried Medjools - they're the best!

I have bought the organic version of these dates 3 times. The quality was slipping a little so I thought I would try the non organic version, save a few dollars & maybe they would be comparable.

These non organic dates are very good, have wonderful sweetness & deep flavor BUT they are a bit more tough & leathery in texture. The skins are also a bit more papery. They are not bad, they are better than most supermarket medjool dates & miles better than the chopped up kind in the baking aisle, but I do think it's worth the extra couple dollars to buy the organic version. Possible health benefits aside (I'm not qualified to give that kind of advice), the organic are just better for eating out of hand; the texture & flavor is better.

I like these for dessert. I have a 1/2 Cup of plain Greek yogurt (Fage 2% is my favorite) & 1 or 2 of these dates. My sweet tooth is completely satisfied by the dates and the yogurt is like eating pudding; delicious and healthy. Also great as an appetizer: just make a slit in the date, take the pit out & put in goat cheese, blue cheese, mascarpone or any creamy cheese. Warm them under the broiler for about 3 minutes or skip the broiler & eat at room temp. Or go all out & wrap bacon or prosciutto around the stuffed date & broil for about 4-5 minutes, turning them after about 3 minutes. The combination of salty and sweet is delicious.

I have not found it necessary to store the dates in the refrigerator and I prefer to eat them at room temperature. I just store them in an airtight container in the cupboard after opening the package.

The plastic container is recyclable: 1 PETE

If you want to save a couple bucks & you're going to cook with the dates, these non organic dates would be very good.

I reviewed these w/updates: Katawampas

I was buying this dates in Costco when we lived in Kansas city and they were not always fresh. That was my main concern when I was ordering them on Amazon, but they were fresh and plump and the price is very good.The package came in time.

I would not say these dates are juicy at all but they are mildly sweet. They do contain pits so you have to remove the pit before eating them. They are quite delicious on their own but I recently read a recipe where you put a pecan inside each date and it sort of tastes like pecan pie. So these are good as a raw foods snack. You might also want to know that these are high in potassium, have lots of fiber and are high in antioxidants.

Bought these based on previous reviews. I live in CA and dates are plentiful, but I hate shopping so I try to get as much as I can through Amazon. These don't compare at all to what is normally available locally. Too dry, not all that sweet. They seem like they've been on the shelf a long, long time and the packaging can't deal with it. I didn't expect dates like I'd get in Indio, but I certainly won't be buying these again. I may be spoiled becasuse of where I live, but if I have to spend the same amount of money, I'll just buy them locally and be sure of the quality.

I bot this twice through amazon, and its real juicy n good in taste. I would say real worth for money. Infact i took some packs to India :-), and my family loved it.
