Medjoul Dates - Palestine

Product Information

Jordan Valley is the lowest point on earth, 390 meters below sea level, where the air is enriched with the highest levels of oxygen. Just a few meters away from the Jordan River. The area is several degrees warmer than adjacent areas and its year-round agricultural climate and fertile soils make it an important location for successful and sustainable agriculture. It is important to note that if you buy Medjool (Medjoul) dates in Europe or the US, there is a good chance they were grown in a settlement or from Israel proper. Unless it is from a trusted Palestinian source like Zaytoun or Yaffa , you could be eating a date that contributes to the dispossession of the Palestinian people. California dates, such as Orchid Dates and Best Fresh Produce, provide good alternative options as well. Medjool dates also contain insoluble fiber, which is essential for healthy digestion. Eating enough insoluble fiber helps prevent constipation and inflammation in the digestive tract.

There are five major Israeli date companies that export to the United States and Europe: Hadiklaim and its brands Jordan River and King Solomon, Mehadrin, Galilee Export, Carmel Agrexco and Agrifood Marketing with its brand Star Dates.The world production of dates has increased from about 1.8 million tons in 1961 to 2.8 million in 1985 and 5.4 million in 2001. The increase of 2.6 million tons since 1985 represents an annual expansion of about 5 percent. Spoon the batter into the prepared tin and arrange the sliced banana on top for decoration. Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Studies have also shown that dates may reduce sugar absorption in our bodies. This can help lower blood sugar levels, which can aid in weight management and reduce the risk of diabetes. Potential Risks of Medjool Dates
