Sourced directly and kept as natural as possible, so you get the full flavour the variety is known for. Not like supermarket dates, here's what to expect Medjool is the one variety most people in the UK already know but even our Medjool will look and feel different from what you find in supermarkets. Here's why: Supermarket Medjool is often glazed. That extra shine and uniform softness you're used to comes from a coating applied after harvest. Ours has none of that. Ours may feel slightly less sticky or look less glossy. That's the natural state of the date, still soft and sweet, just without the coating. The skin may have slight wrinkling or variation. Completely normal. Dates grow this way. They're still soft. Of all our varieties, Medjool is the closest to what UK buyers expect just without the processing. If you've only ever tried supermarket Medjool and want to understand what the other varieties taste like, our Discovery Bundle is the best place to start. ✅ UK delivery in 2–4 working days✅ Satisfaction guaranteed.
