You can feel it in Dutch kitchens that something’s different. Families are choosing simpler, cleaner foods. One change stands out: Medjoul dates are replacing processed snacks and sugary treats.
At Dadels Kopen, we see this shift every day. Customers from Rotterdam to Groningen send messages telling us how these dates have become a part of their mornings, their school lunches, and their family dinners. This isn’t a trend. It’s a quiet, healthy change that fits how Dutch people live now.
Medjoul dates aren’t new. But the way people see them has changed. Grown in Palestine, they are large, naturally sweet, and soft. You don't need to add anything to them. They taste like caramel, only without sugar. You can eat them as they are. Nothing fancy. Just real food.
They don’t stick to your teeth, neither crumble nor feels dry. That makes them easy to enjoy, no matter your age.
Families choose Medjoul dates for one reason: they work. If your energy drops during the day, a date or two helps you stay focused. If your kids want a treat after school, you can feel good about handing them one. It’s just a piece of fruit, yet it does so much.
Medjoul dates support digestion. They have potassium and fiber. Athletes grab them before or after training. Parents use them during Ramadan to break the fast gently. Seniors eat them with their morning tea. That’s the beauty of them. They fit every lifestyle.
One father told us he gives his son two dates before football practice. “He doesn’t ask for a sports bar anymore,” he said. A young woman in Amsterdam said she keeps them in her bag during long study sessions. “They help me push through without grabbing candy.”
People don’t overthink how they use them. Some chop them into yogurt. Some stuff them with nuts. Others just enjoy them plainly. That’s what makes Medjoul dates part of everyday life. You don’t need a recipe. You just need a moment.
There are other date varieties such as Sukkary, Deglet Noor, Zahidi. Some are cheaper, some are drier. But Medjoul dates are different. Bigger, softer, deeper in taste. You bite into one and it feels rich and clean at the same time.
Customers at Dadels Kopen often try one and switch for good. It’s not about price or brand. It’s about quality. These dates are fresh. You can tell by touch, smell, taste. They feel alive, not processed.
There’s nothing added to our Medjoul dates. No wax. No coating. No preservatives. Just dates, harvested by hand and packed with care.
They give your body what it needs. Natural sugars for quick energy. Fiber for digestion. Potassium for balance. Antioxidants to keep your system strong. That’s why Dutch families come back. It’s not hype. It’s what real food should do.
You could buy dates at a supermarket. But many are packed months ago and sit too long on shelves. At Dadels Kopen, we store our dates fresh and ship fast usually within a day or two.
We know where our dates come from. We work directly with farms. No middlemen. That keeps quality high and prices fair. When customers purchase dates from us, they know that what they will get is more than their expectations, full of softness, freshness and flavor.
We don’t just sell dates. We build habits, homes, and health one box at a time.
Medjoul dates aren’t just for Ramadan. Families enjoy them all year. In winter, they warm the body. In summer, they replace heavy snacks. After sports, before meetings, during hikes only one or two dates do the job.
We’ve noticed more parents adding them to school lunches. One mom told us, “It’s the only thing in the lunchbox that never comes back.” Another customer uses them in baking to replace sugar. Small changes like that build better habits without feeling forced.
Keeping Medjoul dates soft is easy. Try to keep them in a cool place without any source of sunlight and heat. An airtight jar made of glass inside a cupboard would be sufficient. If you want them to last longer, put them in the fridge. Just let them warm up into room temperature before eating.
You’ll notice they stay juicy and soft if you store them right. That’s part of what makes them different from the dried-out options at the store.
We don’t need ads. Our customers tell the story. One woman shared that her husband used to eat cookies every night. Now he eats two dates with tea and feels better. Another family switched to dates after their child reacted to processed bars. They now call Medjoul dates “nature’s candy.”
These aren’t made-up stories. They come from emails, reviews, and conversations. That’s what Dadels Kopen stands for; real people, real food, real change.

Dutch families aren’t chasing trends. They want real food that tastes good, feels good, and does good. Medjoul dates do all three. They’re honest. They support energy, digestion, and better eating habits.
At Dadels Kopen, we’ve watched these dates become more than a product. They’ve become a part of people’s daily lives. That’s why we keep doing what we do—delivering the best Medjoul dates to homes across the Netherlands.
Try them for yourself. You’ll understand why families everywhere are making the switch.
