Whether it’s from Waitrose or other companies, Medjool dates are very popular around the world! Since time immemorial, the glorious history of Medjool, also known as the California date, has been revered as one of the most popular dates in all of history.
Since it was an unknown species when it was discovered growing in an oasis in Morocco, its name comes from the word “Jahila”, which can be translated as “not knowing”.
Although the exact origin of most date varieties, including Medjool, is still a mystery, dates have grown abundantly throughout the Middle East, Africa, the Americas, and other regions of the world for thousands of years.
They are thought to be the oldest fruit cultivated anywhere in the world.
There are many fascinating anecdotes about its origins in many places, such as how Medjool first arrived in the United States.
An example is the story of how it came about. In the late 19th century, the United States Department of Agriculture commissioned a group of people known as “agricultural explorers” to travel the world in search of new sources of food that farmers in the United States could grow.
When they traveled to Algeria to investigate the dates, they found that growing conditions there were very similar to those in California’s Coachella Burning Valley. As a result, they decided to bring back huge branches of the Medjool date palm.
After being transplanted to an isolated area of the American desert, the trees began to grow rapidly. Even in modern times, the Coachella Valley is responsible for growing 95% of the world’s Medjool date crop.
Batil is an Arabic word that means “young branch” and refers to a young branch of a tree that has the ability to grow into a new tree. The name Bateel is inspired by the strength, flexibility and potential of palm branches.
The popularity of Medjool can be attributed to the fact that it is one of the most commonly cultivated varieties that result in the availability of the fruit.
The demand for this wonderful food grows every year as more and more people around the world appreciate Medjool’s rich texture and unique caramel-like taste.
Low in calories but high in energy, Medjool dates have many benefits, including:
Maintaining blood pressure The high amounts of potassium in Medjool dates help to maintain blood pressure, which in turn reduces the risk of cardiovascular problems. Potassium also helps to strengthen the vital activities of the nervous system.
Cholesterol is reduced as a result of the high levels of dietary fiber in Medjool dates. It promotes healthy digestion and helps lower LDL cholesterol. Dates contain a lot of good sugar that comes from nature, but it’s still best to consume them in moderation due to their high sugar content.
Phytonutrients are plant compounds that can reduce inflammation and support the immune system. In addition to being a good source of minerals such as magnesium and calcium, Medjool dates are also a rich source of phytonutrients. This combination of properties makes Medjool dates an excellent food for strengthening the immune system.
Dates not only help lower blood sugar levels, which lowers the risk of diabetes, but various vitamins such as folate help convert food into energy, which contributes to dates’ ability to improve metabolism. For this reason, dates are a healthy snack to have before going to the gym or when you feel tired.
Promotes bone health: In addition to being a natural source of nutrients, Medjool dates also contain significant amounts of the minerals magnesium, copper, and calcium. These nutrients help maintain bone mineral density and increase overall bone health.
Medjool dates are a delicious food that can be used in a variety of ways and are a nutritious addition to regular diets.
Although many people prefer to eat dates in their natural, unprocessed state, the fruit can be used as a substitute for refined sugar and is often included in smoothies, desserts, and savory marinades.
In Saudi Arabia’s Alghat region, known for its natural flow and abundant soil, Batel grows its signature Medjool dates in organic farms designed specifically for the purpose.
Medjool is one of the crown jewels in Bateel’s repertoire and is only harvested when it is at its peak.
It is distinguished by its reddish-brown skin and sweet amber flesh that has undertones of honeyed caramel and subtle vanilla.
