What “premium” actually means on a date

It is not a regulated term, so here is what we mean by it — and what to ask anyone else who uses it.

  • Count per pound. Our jumbo Medjools run roughly 22 to 28 dates per pound. Smaller grades run 30 or more. If a seller will not tell you the count, they are selling you a word.
  • Current season. Ask when it was picked. Dates store well, so older fruit can legitimately be sold as fresh.
  • Whole and unpitted. We sell them whole, with the pit in. It comes out with your fingers, and the fruit is handled less on its way to you.
  • Nothing added. No syrup coating, no sulfites, no added sugar. One ingredient.
  • Grown, not sourced. These come off our own palms in Sky Valley, California. Many companies selling dates online are repackers with a warehouse.

We are not certified organic and we do not describe ourselves as organic. We grow without pesticides, which is the narrower and accurate claim.

How to Store Your Medjool Dates

Medjool dates store exceptionally well — one of the reasons they have been a staple food across the Middle East for thousands of years. When your order arrives from our Sky Valley farm, here is how to get the most out of them:

  • Room temperature: Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark pantry for up to 1–2 months.
  • Refrigerator: An airtight glass jar or container keeps dates fresh for up to 6 months. The cold firms them slightly — let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before eating.
  • Freezer: Dates freeze beautifully for up to 1 year. Freeze in a single layer first, then transfer to a bag or container. Thaw at room temperature in 20–30 minutes.
  • Bulk orders: For our 10 lb boxes, vacuum sealing individual portions before freezing is the best long-term strategy.

Store your dates long-term

Medjool dates keep for months with the right container. At room temperature in an airtight jar they last 1–2 months. Refrigerated up to 6 months. Frozen up to 1 year without losing flavor or texture.

  • Airtight glass jars — Best for pantry storage. Wide-mouth makes it easy to grab a date without a fork.
  • Airtight glass containers — For storing larger quantities in the fridge. Stackable and odor-proof.
  • Freezer bags (gallon) — Freeze dates in portions. Pull out what you need and keep the rest frozen for up to a year.
  • Vacuum food sealer — Best option for bulk orders. Vacuum-sealed dates last 2+ years in the freezer with no freezer burn.

From our farm to your door

We grow every date we sell on our family farm in Sky Valley, California. Shipping is included in the price to the lower 48.
