Mejdool dates, which originated in Morocco, are one of the most popular varieties of dates. Mejdool dates are known for their rich caramel-like flavor, large size and soft, chewy texture. Their sugars become more concentrated as they dry which enhances their sweetness and stickiness, so they’re often consumed when dried. They can be used as an alternative to processed sugar and they’re a healthy addition to daily diet as they’re rich in soluble fibers, potassium and vitamins. It is often incorporated in desserts, fruit shakes, smoothies and sweets.
