Organic Pitted Medjool Dates 12 Oz | Naturally Sweet | TRADER JOE'S

Pitted dates should save you time in the kitchen, not add an extra step. These Organic Pitted Medjool Dates come ready to eat, bake, or stuff straight from the 12 oz package, with the pit already removed by hand so nothing gets in the way of the recipe.

Each date is organically grown and selected for size — about two inches long — with very little loose skin, so what you're paying for is mostly fruit rather than trim. Because the pits are removed by hand, you also avoid losing 6% to 10% of the date's weight to the pit itself, which means more usable fruit per package. That makes this 12 oz bag a practical fit for snacking, baking, or filling as an appetizer base.

Key Benefits
