Medjool dates are often referred to as the "king of dates" due to their large size, rich flavor, and soft, caramel-like texture. These dates are harvested from the date palm tree, primarily in regions such as the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of the United States. Known for their natural sweetness, they are often enjoyed as a healthy snack or incorporated into a variety of dishes, from smoothies and desserts to savory recipes.
