What is a Rhutab Medjool Date?

Dates grow in different stages. Right before the Rhutab stage is the the Khalal stage. This is where the fruit changes from green to yellow or red, that takes 3-5 weeks to complete (maximum weight and size); and can be boiled and consumed. Before transitioning into the Rhutab the moisture content in Khalal is anywhere from 45% - 65%.

In the Rhutab stage, the medjool date fruit changes from a yellow/red to a  brown or black color. The tip of the organic date fruit starts to ripen. This stage lasts for about 2 - 4 weeks. The date fruit decreases in weight at this stage; it also becomes sweet. The moisture in this stage is usually 30% - 45%.
The Rhutab stage is only harvested and shipped in September. It is the second edible stage of medjool dates, at which the date fruit is delicate, translucent, moist, and very juicy with a luxurious, melt-in-you-mouth, texture.

How do Rhutab Medjool Dates taste?

This succulent version of the Medjool will delight your senses with a fudge-like, caramel-flavored pulp; so exquisitely soft and chewy. Not to mention the smooth, golden brown exterior to intrigue your eyes and peak your curiosity.
