Sizes and prices
Al-Haj Palestinian Medjool, by the box
The grade is the size of each date: Jumbo is the largest and meatiest, Large is a step smaller, and Medium is the best value per pound. All three are the same Medjool from the same garden.
How much to buy
A month of iftars, worked out
A pitted Medjool date weighs about 24 g, so a kilogram holds roughly 40 dates. A household of four eating three dates each at iftar needs about 360 dates over 30 days, which is roughly 8 to 9 kg. That works out to one 5 kg box plus two 2 kg boxes.
Hosting a community iftar or stocking a mosque? Order 5 kg boxes, or open a wholesale account for regular deliveries.
