It is grown commercially in several warm, dry regions.<\/p>\n<h2>Sizes and grades<\/h2>\n<p>Commercial labels such as Super Jumbo, Jumbo, Large and Small usually describe size and presentation rather than a different variety. Larger, softer and more uniform fruit is commonly selected for premium packs and gifts; smaller fruit remains useful for everyday eating, recipes and smoothies.<\/p>\n<h2>How to choose<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Check that the pack is sealed and clearly labelled.<\/li>\n<li>Choose size and softness according to your intended use.<\/li>\n<li>Expect natural variation in colour and skin separation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Storage<\/h2>\n<p>Keep Medjool dates sealed away from heat and moisture. In a warm climate, refrigeration after opening can help maintain quality. Allow chilled fruit to sit briefly at room temperature before serving if you prefer a softer texture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn about Medjool sizes, commercial grades, texture, uses and storage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":30223,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[459],"tags":[462],"class_list":["post-30222","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-importance-of-dates","tag-462"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wahetelfayoum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30222","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wahetelfayoum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wahetelfayoum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wahetelfayoum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wahetelfayoum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30222"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wahetelfayoum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30222\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31250,"href":"https:\/\/wahetelfayoum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30222\/revisions\/31250"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wahetelfayoum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30223"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wahetelfayoum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30222"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wahetelfayoum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30222"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wahetelfayoum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30222"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
