Dorothy Lane Rancho Meladuco Organic Sun-Ripened Dates 1-lb Gift Box

The Dates Everyone Is Talking About!

Rancho Meladuco is located in Coachella Valley, CA, not far from Palm Springs. These organic Medjool dates are sun-ripened, hand-picked, and packed for a superior eating experience. In addition to dates’ naturally delicious taste— sweet with caramel and brown sugar notes—as well as a candy-like soft, chewy texture, they are also a nutrient-dense superfood full of potassium and other important minerals and nutrients like iron, magnesium, selenium, and more. They have been hailed as "The World's Best Dates" by Bon Appétit magazine. Just one bite and you'll taste why!

Please note: These premium dates are high in sugar, the white spots that may appear are simply sugar deposits and are completely natural and safe to eat!

Instructions

Did you know you that date seeds can be ground into gluten-free date flour, be used for livestock feed, or roasted and used like coffee beans?
Storage

These dates are shelf stable; however, to extend their shelf life, please refrigerate as needed.

What are those white spots on your fancy dates? They're a sign of nature, not something to be spooked about. Here's the deal:

    Sugar Surprise: As the dates dry out, all that natural sugar gets concentrated. This can create a perfect situation for some of the sugar to crystallize, showing up as white spots.
    Safe to Eat: Those white spots, be they yeast or crystallized sugar, are totally safe. They don't affect the taste or quality of your dates.
