Saudi Arabian Medjool Dates

Saudi Arabian Medjool Dates

Medjool dates from Saudi Arabia are a different variety than conventional Medjool dates, which is why they have less flesh. They are also less sweet and their appearance is somewhat reminiscent of Segai dates. Nevertheless, they are known for their characteristic caramel flavour.
