Why prices differ
- Size and grade: jumbo or "King" Medjool cost more than standard sizes.
- Origin: Palestinian, Israeli, Jordanian, Saudi and US Medjool differ in price and taste. See Saudi vs Palestinian Medjool.
- Pack size: small premium trays cost much more per kg than 500 g packs.
- Freshness: soft, moist dates need cold storage. Drier dates cost less but are firmer and less sweet.
