- 1 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase2/8/2024Medjool dates were a total waste of money. They were dried out, and tasted more like Deglet dates, which I never buy. Good Medjools have a delightful, gooey moisture
I will never buy Medjool dates from Sam's again.
Sunny - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase8/3/2017The dates are tender and sweet; so very good and a real treat for a quick pick me up. Note: they still have pits so be aware of that (especially with children).
These Dates are so Delicious!!
quiet life - 3 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase11/19/2024Sometimes when I open the package after I bring it home, the dates are hard as a rock. This happened a few times last year, so I stopped buying it. This year, some were fresh, others drier and harder. Waste of money and time. They used to always be fresh and good. I live not so far from where dates are grown, so am not understanding the issue here.
Sometimes dried out
Happy - 2 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase12/26/2023These were very dry. I have bought several times before and they were excellent but these were not good— I think they were old
Below standard quality
Wgms - 1 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase5/26/2023Check for mold before buying. Even Sam’s Club competition had similar situation. No one to blame but I wanted to give warning
Be careful!
EZ - 3 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase12/11/2024I love these dates but the last few times I have purchased them they were hard and dry and turning a light tan on the ends. The expiration date is still good but the quality is not.
So much better fresh.
Astauff - 5 out of 5 stars review8/9/2014My Sam's Club got them in as a "one time buy" according to the sign. Really? With all of the other seasonal fruit they bring in they're only going to purchase one shipment of something excellent that can keep year round? I loved them while they lasted, but like so many things at Sam's (i.e. Sabra Spinach and Artichoke hummus, etc. etc.), it seems when you find something you REALLY like or value then BAM!...it's gone without warning - forever. I guess that's 'warehouse' shopping for ya. :(
Fantastic, but my Sam's no longer carries them!?!
BrandoCalriassian - 4 out of 5 stars review5/14/2016These dates are really just carried in the Ramadan Season annually (at our location anyway). I'd love to be able to get them year round but I guess this season is when they make the most money on them. I always buy 15 or so, containers in Ramadan month for my family and friends, sometimes more. This is the first time I have ever seen an instant savings on them! They are pricey so I wanted to buy lots and tell all my family, but went back and the special had only been like a week!! Seriously?? worse yet, only 3 per membership!! WHAT?!? Anyway, there's no beans like Natural Delights so please consider carrying them all year! You'd be surprised at the added business you'd get by just carrying dates! The ones I get the rest of the year come f...
Moist, Sweet & Delicious!
4ourking - 2 out of 5 stars review9/30/2022I bought these dates in July and the quality was good for the most part. Most of the dates were fresh and moist. Out of two containers, there were only two that had mold inside. I bought two more when they came back in stock in September. The quality was terrible. Many of the dates were dry, many more have mold inside, at least five had dead caterpillars inside and numerous dates have corking on the skins. I highly recommend cutting them open and inspecting the inside before popping them into your mouth.
Quality Is Inconsistent
Biv0738 - 2 out of 5 stars review7/14/2024I have noticed that for the past 6 months that the dates inside have black rot / mold in them . So I have to open the dates and check each one of them by opening and checking before I eat. Is this a quality control issue ? Or is it not being stored properly at Sams , will someone investigate ?
Black rot / mold inside dates
Senthil - 1 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase12/21/2023I never heard dates getting spoiled but it happened with my last 3 purchases.

Veeru - 3 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase2/1/2022About one out of 5 dates are moldy on the inside.
Disappointed
Tanzanite - 1 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase11/20/2024The dates are very dry and old. It used to be fresh. I give the product a zero rating.
The taste is very bad 👎
Saif - 1 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase12/24/2023Had to return it because it tasted gritty and sandy.
Can’t recommend.
BooBoo - 1 out of 5 stars review7/13/2026So disappointed . These use to be wonderful ! Now they are old and dried up! This batch half the dates don't have pits , what is up with that ? Never buying again ðŸ˜
Never buying again
Jo - 1 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase3/26/2024When I cut into the end of a date, black mold puffed out. It made me so gross that I put them in the outside garbage.
Bad day es
Unsatisfied - 1 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase4/3/2024Initially the dates were good a week later they were molding. I've never had dates that molded so quickly.
Bad Dates
Todd - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase4/8/2021We greatly enjoy having the dried dates around as a snack and as something to offer guests. These DO contain pits, but the moistness and good flavor of the dates makes the small amount of extra care when eating them worth the trouble.
Excellent dates (despite pits)
Tommy - 1 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase4/11/2023The quality of these have deteriorated immensely. Used to be great quality, consistently juicy and fresh dates. This is not the case anymore. The dates are not consistent…. Most are very dry and not fresh.
Very poor quality
Sam - 2 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase1/22/2020Was disappointed that few boxes were dry and Not fresh like a gum. They should be fresh and soft. Also found some black and bad dates inside. After September there should be a new crop and those are certainly not!
Not fresh
ThankyouHashem
