Trader Joe's Organic Dried & Pitted Deglet Noor Dates, Snacks, 8 oz.

We sell a whole lot of dates in our stores, the vast majority of which are of the Medjool variety. However, theres a whole wide world of dates out there, representing a vast spectrum of color, flavor, and texture: varieties like golden Barhi dates, nutty Zahidi dates, and super-soft Mazafati dates are some notable examples. For our latest foray into the date world, weve chosen Deglet Noor Dates, a variety thats slightly less sweet and just a touch firmer than a typical Medjool. As Trader Joes Organic Dried & Pitted Deglet Noor Dates ably demonstrate, this milder flavor and toothsome texture make them perfect for all sorts of sweet, savory, or even just snack- based situations.

Organically grown in California, our supplier pits each Date prior to packing, which both makes snacking easier, and leaves a convenient cavity, within which you can stuff cream cheese, blue cheese, chevre, or even bits of bacon or prosciutto. Aside from the implications for appetizers this creates, these Dates are also great for using in baking, incorporating into sauces, or chopping up and mixing into salads. For a nice boost of energy, try taking a handful with you, along with some walnuts, almonds, or cashews, the next time you go on a hike.
