Yupik Organic Medjool Dates with Pits, 2.2 lb (35.2 oz), Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, Vegan, Kosher, Dried Fruits, Naturally Sweet, Sulphite-Free, Source of Fiber, Healthy Snacks, Ideal for Baking & Topping

Now, these are the best dates I’ve ever had yes BUT please remember that at the time of this review it is the peak season for dates. Their freshness & flavor is better in the months of September through November & can continue through early January. I’m hoping that their quality control is always this stellar because when I first began consuming Medjool dates on a daily bases I was ordering from Nuts.com & they started out great but then the quality control became terrible. They’d arrive slimy which you could even see through the bags without opening them. They’d of course be mushy. I was super disappointed with each order at the end but I stuck with them because they’d always reimburse & they always will when you show them proof of the poor quality control. After a while I just started ordering other dried fruits & gave up on my Medjool dates entirely. It wasn’t until about a week ago that I thought I’m gonna start making these protein bars from a recipe I discovered & sure enough it calls for dates. In my mind I thought it doesn’t matter if they’re mushy or even slimy through this approach. Next thing I know I’m on the Nuts.com website & I'm searching for my Medjool dates. I gasped once I discovered that theirs actually contain sulphites! How did I miss this all those times orders were placed!? So to say that I was DONE with that company would be an understatement. That’s when I turned to Amazon for help finding a replacement brand. These by YUpik are free from sulphites & I thought for sure they’d be more expensive but they’re actually just a $1 or $2 less than what I was paying before so I was thrilled about that. Thank you to YUpik for providing us with healthy choices at affordable prices. It’s truly appreciated!

Delicious!! As other reviewers mentioned, these dates are very large, soft, and chewy. Which makes them perfect for a recipe I recently stumbled across that I just had to try. I can’t remember where I saw the recipe or what it’s even called. But I will call these Chocolate Date Bombs. Scoop a couple of spoonfuls of ghee into a bowl (I didn’t measure how much, just estimate) and one full scoop of your favorite chocolate protein powder. Cream together with a spoon until well incorporated. These dates are already pitted, so find the slit on the side of the date where the pit was removed, and carefully pry open like a locket. You will have two open halves with a “hinge” on the back. Scoop some of the chocolate ghee mixture into each half and press both sides back together. And that’s it! Super fast and easy, and DELICIOUS!!! If you’ve ever had a Butterscotch Square from See’s Candies, this tastes almost EXACTLY like that! (I should know, because it’s one of my all time favorites). The Butterscotch Square is basically a brown sugar and butter mixture covered in chocolate. With this alternative, the dates are very similar to brown sugar, you have the nutty, buttery creaminess of the ghee, and the chocolate from your protein powder, so all the flavors meld together perfectly. But HEALTHY!! You get all the benefits of the dates, plus protein and a healthy fat. I will now keep a bag of these made in my refrigerator at all times, as it will be my new guilt free dessert. And since they are shelf stable I will also bring these when I travel. Super easy to pack in my carry-on and then I won’t be tempted to eat the unhealthy desserts that I always want to grab when I’m traveling. I hope you enjoy!

Amazing quality! I usually get the Natural Delight brand Organic Medjool dates, but I wasn’t able to go to the store and get them so I decided to look on Amazon and chose these. So happy I did because these are my new favorites! They are so big and plump as well as fresh and delicious. They are so soft, moist, and chewy/mushy just like I like them 🤩 if you are looking for more firm, dried, smaller type dates like Deglect dates these are not for you. If you love big, chewy(not too chewy), plump Rutab رُطَب Medjool type dates these are exactly what you’re looking for. 10/10 recommend!

These are plump chewy and delicious. Great price too

Very good, large, moist dates.

REALLY GOOD DATES!! BEST I'VE HAD!!

So these dates are as I remembered eating as a kid. Soft, creamy, caramely, perfect. I started eating dates for the health benefits and because, when they're right, they beat the heck out of a sweet tooth. The sugars in them are a bit apparent with a tiny amount of natural sugar grain on my teeth and tongue (very little). However they're so good they won't last long enough for it to become a problem. Just one of these gigantic dates equals 2-3 Noor dates, which I thought were good till I bought the Medjool. They have pits so be careful biting into them but the pits aren't enough of a turnoff to prevent me from buying again..and again. Truthfully tho, I'm going to try sprouts Medjool dates as they're 7.99 a lb. So depending on the quality there, I may not buy these Yupic dates again till summer is over. The simple reason is the trucks are very hot and after being in the hot warehouse, then in the shipping package and then in a hot truck all day could contribute to the sugars developing too quickly. So that's a thought. All in all I'd recommend these dates and buy again.

First 2 shipments no issue, however 3 time ordering and product is very nasty and mushy. Best by date state 2027 but it seems like product is expired or was handled poorly. Sucks that wasted $20 on this
