Medjool Culinary Grade — The Official Raw Material of Our Kitchen Chapter
Every technique in the Medjool Kitchen chapter — date paste, syrup, energy-ball filling, and natural sugar substitution in baking — is tested on this grade. Culinary Grade is medjool just as sweet and just as ripe as the display grades, but it fails the cosmetic sort: smaller fruits (typically 15–18 grams), occasionally loose skin, less photogenic shapes. To a blender or an oven, none of that matters — what remains is medjool's caramel flavor at the most efficient cost per kilogram.
Why Professional Kitchens Use This Grade
| Aspect | Display grades (Large–Super Jumbo) | Culinary Grade |
|---|---|---|
| Flavor & ripeness | Full caramel, tamr | Full caramel, tamr — identical |
| Fruit size | 18 to >27g, uniform | ~15–18g, mixed |
| Skin cosmetics | Smooth, intact | May be wrinkled/partly flaked |
| Price per kg | Premium | Most economical |
| Ideal use | Whole servings & gifts | Paste, syrup, batters, smoothies |
What This Carton Becomes
- Medjool date paste — warm-soak, pit, blend; full ratios and steps are in our technique guide.
- Sugar replacement in recipes: date paste can substitute granulated sugar cup-for-cup (reduce the recipe's liquid by about a quarter).
- Energy balls & snack bars — medjool is nature's binder thanks to its 66.5g of sugars per 100g (USDA).
- Smoothies, overnight oats, marinades — 1–2 dates add caramel sweetness plus fiber, not empty calories.
Clear Specifications, No Guesswork
We write specifications the way we write the encyclopedia: average fruit weight of the batch, harvest date, orchard origin (Jordan Valley, Palestine), and relative moisture. Your kitchen deserves to know exactly what goes into the food processor. One carton holds 5kg loose — roughly 280–330 fruits, or about 4–4.5kg of flesh after pitting, enough for approximately 5–6 liters of ready date paste.
A Nutrition Note for Your Menu
Per 100 grams, medjool provides 277 kcal, 75g carbohydrate, 6.7g fiber, and 696mg potassium (USDA). For cafe and bakery clients writing menu claims, we recommend the same conservative framing this library uses: "sweetened with medjool dates" — whole-fruit sweetness that arrives with its fiber. (Educational information, not medical advice.)
Estimating Your Kitchen's Monthly Need
A practical planning benchmark: one 5kg carton yields about 5–6 liters of ready date paste. Cafes using paste as a signature-menu sweetener typically go through 1–2 cartons per month, while bakeries with date-based product lines can use more. Send us your product list and an estimate of daily servings, and our team will help calculate your need and schedule supply so your kitchen never runs dry mid-production. Flavor consistency holds because we log each batch's specifications.
Kitchen-Scale Storage
Keep the carton cool and dry. Once opened, move to airtight containers: 3–6 months chilled, up to ~1 year frozen. Finished date paste keeps refrigerated for 2–3 weeks, or freeze it in small portions.

Q&A Marginalia
Questions, answered
Does Culinary Grade mean low quality or leftovers?
No. The fruit comes from the same harvest and ripeness as display grades; it simply fails the size and cosmetic sort (15–18 gram fruits, skin may be less smooth). Blended or baked, it performs identically.
How much date paste does one 5kg carton yield?
After pitting you keep about 4–4.5kg of flesh, which yields roughly 5–6 liters of date paste depending on your water ratio.
Is it right for a small bakery or cafe?
Very much — this grade exists for production kitchens. We provide written per-batch specifications and monthly-requirement consults via WhatsApp.
How do I store 5kg without spoilage?
Keep the carton cool and dry, then move opened fruit to airtight containers. It holds 3–6 months chilled and up to about a year frozen. Use finished paste within 2–3 weeks refrigerated.
Do you deliver across Jabodetabek?
Yes, cartons ship from our Cakung, East Jakarta warehouse to Jakarta, Depok, Tangerang, Bekasi, and Bogor. For recurring volume, message WhatsApp +62 823-4350-8579.
