dates originally grown in Morocco


Explanation:
"Medjool - Considered "the King of Dates", the Medjool variety is truly the gourmet date of the industry. Unquestionably, the largest, juiciest and most flavourful date available. Originally from Morocco, the Medjool is now widely grown in southern California.

Medjool, Organic - Large, firm yet moist, the organic Medjool is the fanciest and tastiest date you will ever encounter.

Medjool, Jumbo, Organic - The largest organic medjools available."

Explanation:
"Medjool" appears to literally mean "unknown", maybe the name means or refers to the fact that the exact origin of this particular cultivar (type of date palm) is "unknown". If you look below, you'll see some links that may prove informative or useful, I thought that the information about date nomenclature and the types of cultivars that are available was interesting. HTH.
