Truly fabulous dates! These are the best we have found online for a very long time, since the first time we ordered organic Medjool dates from OhNuts (not available for many, many months now). Those were excellent, and these are just as good! Several orders in between from other sellers not so good--white, filmy coating, plasticy tasting, dry, or just second-rate dates for the price. I took a chance with Terrasoul, as these had no reviews yet, but they had a 30-day money-back guarantee and a nice description, not to mention a very good price. Wasn't sure what to expect, but got a nice surprise when they arrived. What scrumptious dates! Nice and plump, huge, very fresh dates, no icky bag taste. We will be buying regularly. Thank you very much for a wonderful gourmet product, reasonably priced, something we really appreciate in northern NH. And yes, I'm a real reviewer.
I ordered the 2lb Deglet Noor Dates, so I cant speak on the other variety of dates. I was very wary after seeing some other reviews but these dates are very plump, moist, and sticky. I have also been cutting each one in half before consuming to check for anything strange, and nothing but a space where the pit used to be. It really makes eating 6 a day (for pregnancy) a lot easier and cost effective. Currently using them in cereals/oatmeal’s/and banana chai smoothies. Thinking about trying on making peanut butter date cookies next
These dates are my go-to snack/energy treat and I like them better than chocolate! Incredibly sweet, plump and rich. Two or three of these and a handful of nuts keep me satisfied for hours. They are not pitted, however, so be careful of that. I have them delivered regularly with Subscribe and Save.
I grew up in a desert town with date trees all around the downtown plaza; as kids, we'd pick up the fallen dates and enjoy the little treat, but I never really loved the taste of dates or figs. They were just okay--same for those I'd purchase occasionally for a recipe or even the treats my grandmother made with them.
But, I have a young neighbor who observes Ramadan with fasting, and wanted a way to show her my support; since dates are a traditional way of ending a day's fast when someone isn't home, I decided to try these. What a difference!
The package was surprisingly heavy--I know it says "2 lbs" but for some odd reason, this felt like a heavy 2 lbs. The dates were all large, easily twice the size of others I'd eaten. They are "meaty" in texture and have a good taste, beyond just being sweet. But they are much sweeter than I'd expect for 45 calories each--so eating one or two of these is really satisfying in the way that eating a candy bar or a doughnut is not. I can see why they are perfect for breaking a fast.
I repackaged them as a Ramadan gift, and my neighbor loves them--a perfect snack to take in the car with a bottle of water when she is away from home. But I like them enough that I've just ordered another package for myself--I never thought that would happen.
What can I say? Medjools are the yummiest date and fruit that I have ever eaten in all my life.
What does it taste like? It reminds me of vanilla ice cream with clover honey on it which is my favorite way to eat ice cream.
What else does it taste like? It has a luscious creamy natural caramel flavor and texture without the tack.
I love them and enjoy the flavor and texture so much that I have to force myself to only eat 3 or 4 a day. The two-pound bag is going fast.
Don't forget these dates have NOT been over handled by going through a pit remover on an assembly line. They are all natural, no preservatives, and they do contain the pit. The pit is slender and near the middle of the date. Be careful not to put the whole date in your mouth and end of breaking a tooth.
They are tremendously delicious and make a great snack and dessert. I highly recommend this brand, too.

I originally purchased these in the hopes they would help prepare me for child birth. I had an extremely fast labor and delivery and I do think eating these every day, starting when I was 38 weeks, helped (you can Google for studies down regarding eating dates during pregnancy). I enjoyed them so much I ordered a second bag after my baby was born and now enjoy them occasionally when I am craving something sweet. They taste great by themselves and I also enjoy them cut up and out into oatmeal with almond butter, flax and cinnamon.
These dates are heavenly! Right after I received them I made the mistake of "sampling" a few too many of them. Some of the "healthful" aspects of these delightful dates were predictably manifested by the next morning, if you catch my drift. So now I hide them from myself deep within my refrigerator. Out of sight, out of mind - is the only way I can resist them.
Very pleased with the quality of these dates. It's always a crapshoot when ordering dates online and I'm so glad to have found a reliable source.
I was a little nervous about the negative reviews and pictures at first. But overall, the amount of positive reviews speak for themselves. I'm glad I took a chance! It's always possible to have some issues arrive with organic fruits like this and with Amazon, we can always request a return if quality is lacking and we want our money back. IMHO, you can't lose! Go for it! :)
After reading several of the reviews, I was afraid to see what was inside the bag when I received it. Thankfully (luckily?) they were fresh with no signs of anything else in the bag but dates. After biting into one and spitting out the pit, it was very delicious and sweet, just like the ones I get at the local co-op. I hope my luck continues as I will most likely be buying more when this bag has been eaten!
The dates are great. I was impressed at how big they are since I had been getting the other variety at the local grocery store. I was surprised that they have puts (though I have since found that that is normal for majool dates) but the pits are small and easy to eat around/remove. I am using them as part of a natural preparation for childbirth. Since I don't eat much in the way of sugar containing foods they are a sweet treat and my version of candy.
