What do we do with the imperfect dates, the too small, too dry, or too ugly dates? These dates are still delicious and nutritious and are perfect for blending, baking or using in recipes where texture, size and appearance don’t matter. We have packaged these “Grinders” (as we affectionately call them) in several sizes at a reduced price!
Because everyone loves a cheap date.
NOTE: We recommend storing your dates in the refrigerator or freezer. We do not advise storing them at room temp when the dates are very moist.
Tip: to rehydrate dry dates for blending, soak dates in very hot water (or other flavorful liquid) for several minutes, drain and use.
Contains whole, un-pitted California grown medjool dates.

Don’t sleep on the deep discount “sugared” dates! They may be imperfect by Rancho Meladuco’s high standards, but they’re a thousand times better than anything you’ll find at Whole Foods or your local market. I love the hand-packed dates but honestly these are just as good. I go through a 5-pound box so quickly because I can’t stop eating them. Best deal out there!

These are the best dates and only imperfect if you are making appetizers or something like that with ‘em. I eat plant-based so use these in salads and in baking in place of sugar. They are the best!

Opened my 15 pound box of grinders and was pleasantly surprised to see how amazing they looked. Maybe considered imperfect, but better than most store bought options and they tasted delicious!

Bought these at work for a quick snack and thought the package was really cute and unique. After opening the container these huge wonderful dates take you by surprise. One bite and I was hooked, they are sooo delicious!! Probably should of read the whole container before taking a bite due to the pits but yes my new favorite snack.

Not imperfect or ugly! Absolutely delicious. I just wish they lasted longer. They get eaten before I can even use them in a recipe.
