Jumbo Palestinian Medjool Dates — A King of Dates That Is Genuinely Rare
Many products claim scarcity; Palestinian Medjool dates truly are scarce, and the data is clear. According to BPS, of Indonesia's total 54.45 thousand tons of date imports in 2025, only 418 tons came from Palestine — compare that with Egypt's 24,232 tons. In other words, less than one percent of the dates circulating in Indonesia are Palestinian. At Lumbung Kurma Indonesia, we allocate a dedicated quota of jumbo Medjool from the Jordan Valley and the Jericho area, so Indonesian families can enjoy the king of dates while supporting Palestinian farmers through official trade channels.
Why Is Medjool Called the King of Dates?
Its size speaks first: our jumbo grade holds large dates with thick, moist, tender-chewy flesh. The taste is deeply sweet — a blend of honey and caramel — with a juiciness few other varieties offer. One jumbo Medjool is satisfying enough as an iftar opener.

| Potassium | ±696mg |
Energy-dense yet rich in fiber and minerals — which is why Medjool is popular in smoothies, as a natural sweetener, and as a workout snack. The measured glycemic index of dates is 42–55, low to moderate; still watch portions if you limit sugar. This is educational information, not medical advice.
Solidarity You Can Taste
Buying Palestinian Medjool is a tangible way to support Palestinian farmers through official trade. We are transparent about sourcing: every date in our granary enters through recorded import channels, and neither BPS nor Trade Ministry data records any date imports from Israel — an assurance that matters to many Indonesian buyers.
Serving Ideas Fit for the King of Dates
The jumbo size opens up endless creations: split and fill with peanut butter or cream cheese, tuck in a walnut for cafe-style guest servings, or blend two dates with milk and ice into a rich date shake. Runners and gym-goers love it as natural pre-workout fuel; bakers use it to sweeten brownies and energy bars without refined sugar. One 500g box becomes many things in a week — the true value of a thick-fleshed date.
Worth knowing: Medjool is also grown elsewhere — the United States, for instance, shipped 143 tons of California Medjool to Indonesia in 2025 per BPS. The variety is the same; what differs is the farmer's hand, the soil, and the story behind it. Our Palestinian Medjool carries all three at once: fertile-valley quality, the steadfastness of Jericho's farmers, and the meaning of solidarity in every box.

FAQ
Common questions
Why are Palestinian Medjool dates called rare?
Because the data shows it: BPS recorded only 418 tons of Palestinian dates entering Indonesia in 2025, out of 54.45 thousand tons of total imports. That is under one percent of national supply — far less than Egypt, Saudi Arabia, or the UAE.
How do Palestinian Medjool differ from Medjool from other countries?
The variety is the same, but Palestinian Medjool is grown by farmers of the Jordan Valley and the Jericho area, renowned for large, thick-fleshed fruit. Buying it also supports the Palestinian farming economy through official trade.
How many dates are in a 500g pack?
Our jumbo grade holds roughly 22–28 dates per 500 grams, depending on fruit size in each arrival batch. The bigger the dates, the fewer per pack.
How can I be sure these dates really come from Palestine?
Every shipment enters through official import channels with origin documents recorded by BPS and the Trade Ministry. We openly show origin information on the pack label and will gladly answer sourcing questions on WhatsApp.
What happens when stock runs out?
We open a WhatsApp pre-order waiting list. You will be contacted the moment the next container reaches our Cakung warehouse — no upfront payment unless you want to lock in an allocation.
