Medjoul (or Mejhoul) dates are a variety of dates known for their large size, fleshy flesh, and very sweet flavor with aromas of caramel and honey. Native to Morocco, this date is nicknamed the "queen of dates" and is grown in many warm regions of the world, such as the United States and the Middle East. They are an excellent source of energy, fiber, and minerals, and can be enjoyed plain or used in various sweet and savory recipes.
