Medjool Is a Date Cultivar from Tafilalet, Morocco — 15–30 Grams per Fruit, the Largest Widely Traded Date

Medjool (also spelled Medjoul, Mejhoul, or Majhool) is a cultivar of Phoenix dactylifera originating from the oases of the Tafilalet region of Morocco — including Boudnib — and in 2024 it accounted for roughly 25% of the worldwide date trade. The name derives from the Arabic tamar al-majhūl, "the unknown date"; an irony, since this is now the most sought-after date on earth. Typically weighing 15–25 grams per fruit (exceptional dates reach 27–30 grams), with thick flesh and a natural caramel flavor, medjool is the largest date widely sold in Indonesia.

Pustaka Medjool organizes everything worth knowing about this fruit into referenced chapters: what the name medjool means and how its spelling map runs from Morocco to Indonesian marketplaces; the dramatic 1927 rescue history of medjool dates; the countries where medjool dates are grown, from the Jordan Valley to California; medjool dates calories and per-100-gram nutrition according to USDA; medjool date sizes from Large to Super Jumbo in grams; and date paste technique as a natural sugar substitute. Every number here has a source — and if you want to taste the study material, our reference collection ships across Jabodetabek.
