Medjool dates include many different types of dates known for their natural sweetness. They are larger, darker, and taste more like caramel than other types of dates, such as Deglet Nour.
The Medjool date is native to Morocco, comes from the date palm tree (Phoenix dactylifera) and is now grown in warm regions of the United States, the Middle East, South Asia and Africa.
It is usually sold dried but not dried, giving it a moist and tender texture, and has a higher concentration of sugar, which increases its sweetness.
The reason for its name is the unknown tree, which is originally from Morocco, and was later planted in the United States.
