Walmart Dates vs. Mighty Mejdool: The Truth on Quality
A simple look at what you see on the shelf and what you taste at home.
Hi Mejdoolers,
Let’s look at what most people find at the supermarket. You can usually spot dates that are smaller, drier, and just not very fresh. Many have been sitting in storage for months before they land on the shelf. The result is fruit that looks fine in the package, but feels tough and tastes flat once you open it. Not to mention the variety found is store is usually limited to medjool dates only.
What You’ll Notice on the Shelf
- Smaller size and a drier texture
- Less moisture and a weaker flavour
- Often stored for long periods before you buy
Packaging Problems
A lot of supermarket dates come in thick plastic tubs or film that most people throw away. Much of it is not recyclable, which means more waste. One quick snack should not have to create a pile of garbage.
A Simple At-Home Test
Open the box. Look at the size, colour, and softness. Press gently to feel the moisture. Then taste. Fresh dates feel plush, chew softly, and deliver a deep, natural sweetness without a dry finish.
If you have only tried supermarket dates, you might be surprised by how much better great dates can be. Try Sukkari for a soft, caramel vibe or go classic with Medjool for a big, bold bite. Taste and texture should speak for themselves.
Stay Mighty,
The Mighty Mejdool Team
