The name date derives from the Greek word Daktylos which means finger!!!

Just over 3.5% of the earth's farmland is covered by fruiting date palms which produce way over 4 million tonnes of fruit a year.

Medjool dates are actually a FRESH FRUIT. People think that dates are dried as they have wrinkly skin or they think of the ones that go in the STP.

Medjool dates are fully ripened fruit and actually hand-harvested from the date palm at height, cleaned, sorted and packaged into the box in the treetops. There’s no processing, and they’re never physically or chemically dried.

Medjool dates are an excellent source of fibre while containing no added sugar. They also hold extremely low glycemic for sustained energy.

Dates also host a variety of beneficial vitamins and minerals, most notably Potassium, Copper, Magnesium, Vitamin B6, Niacin, Calcium, Iron and Vitamin K - In fact, Medjool dates contain more potassium by weight than bananas. (Wowza)

You will struggle to find anyone allergic to dates (we are not saying a date allergy doesn’t exist as it does, but it's extremely rare)

Dates are renowned as a radical remedy for alcoholic intoxication. Dates provide a quick relief they should be soaked overnight then the fruit and the soaking juices consumed in the morning after a heavy night on the beer.

This will relieve your headache (Don’t soak them in Whisky though)

Fossil records show that date palm has existed for at least 50 million years!!!!!

Date palm seeds can lie dormant for decades; they sit waiting for the correct light and moisture conditions for them to spark back into life.

Soaps, eyeliner and other beauty products are often created using date stones.
