Stacks of packed Medjool date containers and a bulk case in cold storage at Desert Sun Dates
Sealed 1 lb and 2 lb containers and bulk cases, straight from our cold room.

What we supply

  • Jumbo Medjool: soft, rich and caramel-sweet, roughly 22 to 28 per pound. For stuffing, plating, date paste, smoothies and snacking.
  • Golden Zahidi: firm, semi-dry and milder. It chops cleanly and holds its shape when baked, so bakeries and kitchens use it for breads, bars, granola and savory dishes. See what semi-dry dates are.
  • One ingredient. Whole, unpitted fruit with nothing added or coated.

Retail stores, markets and gift shops

Because the dates are packed in sealed 1 lb and 2 lb containers, they go straight on a shelf or into a gift basket. Health food stores, markets, delis, gift shops and basket builders can mix Medjool and Zahidi in one order. We’ll talk through case sizes and reorders on the quote.

Ramadan, masjids and community groups

Why buy from the grower

  • Fresh, single-harvest fruit. Picked once a year on our farm and held in our cold room, not a distributor’s warehouse. Here is how we harvest by hand.
  • Consistent packing. The same sealed containers every time, so reorders look and weigh the same.
  • Direct line to the farm. You talk to the people who grow the dates.
  • Ships from California within 3 business days of your order. Our FAQ covers delivery, freshness and returns.
