Rancho Meladuco Date Farm celebrate California’s rich heritage as the birthplace of date production in the United States with our illustrated California series boxes. Featuring one pound of caramely sweet and nutritious organic California grown Medjool dates in an environmentally friendly and recyclable white paper box. The only superfood that tastes like candy, dates are enjoying a resurgence in popularity for all the right reasons – dates are naturally sweet and delicious with flavors of brown sugar and caramel, yet they are also nutritious with essential vitamins, minerals and fiber. Rancho Meladuco Date Farm is also a female founded brand. Each box contains 1 lb. of Organic, whole unpitted Medjool Dates and about 22-26 dates per pound. Box dimensions are 6 in. x 5 in. x 2 in. Storage and shelf life: To preserve the moisture and texture of our dates we recommend freezing (ideal, and keeps for up to 2 years) or refrigeration at a minimum (up to 2 months). Room temp only if cool and dry, and for not longer than a month ideally. We recommend back stock be kept frozen or refrigerated to preserve moisture and freshness.
