These 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 from online, but I will continue to buy here in the annual Ramadan month. KUDOS TO GREAT TASTING AND QUALITY DATES!!! To die for!!

The dates are very dry and old. It used to be fresh. I give the product a zero rating.

About one out of 5 dates are moldy on the inside.

I never heard dates getting spoiled but it happened with my last 3 purchases.

Had to return it because it tasted gritty and sandy.

Initially the dates were good a week later they were molding. I've never had dates that molded so quickly.

When 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.

Was 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!

The 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.

We 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.
