The scientific name of the date palm, Phoenix dactylifera, has roots in ancient Greece. The coastal region between the Jordan Valley and the Mediterranean Sea, known as Phoenicia, derives its name from the Greek word for purple land, referencing the purple dye made from sea snails that brought the area fame.
The date palm grew abundantly in Phoenicia, leading to the belief that it was native to the region.
As a result, the tree became known as Phoenix, or the tree of Phoenicia, and was a symbol of the area, even appearing on Phoenician coins. The term "dactylifera" translates to "finger bearing," a nod to the oblong-shaped dates and the clusters in which they grow.
Medjool Dates
Dates are one of the oldest known crops cultivated as a food source for humans, with evidence of their farming dating back to 7000 B.C. Of the more than 3,000 date varieties available worldwide, the Medjool is considered the “king of dates” due to its succulence and rich taste qualities, historically making it a delicacy reserved for royals. The palms on which the fruit grew were also used by kings as a symbol of victory.
Medjool Nutritional Value
Full of natural sugars, primarily glucose and fructose, Medjool dates are a healthy and highly energizing snack with a juicy, fleshy, and chewy texture.
They are an excellent source of fibre, contain more potassium than bananas, and are rich in protein, magnesium, vitamin B complex, and other essential minerals.
Jordanian Medjool Quality
The Jordan Valley is renowned as the best place in the world for cultivating high-quality Medjool dates due to its exceptionally high temperatures, low humidity, and minimal rainfall. Situated 390 meters below sea level, it is the lowest point on earth and has air enriched with the highest levels of oxygen. Its year-round climate and fertile soils make it an important location for successful and sustainable agriculture. While there have been attempts to cultivate Medjool date palms in different parts of the world, they have not yet achieved the special quality and taste criteria that make Jordanian Medjool dates so highly favoured.
