While there are many date farms here in the Coachella Valley our farm only consists of 20 acres of land of which only 5 acres are currently in the production stages. All work on our farm is done directly by us and we take great pride in making sure that our dates are of the highest quality we can offer. We love our dates, and we lovingly tend to our ranch and trees every day. Let us share what we so lovingly cultivate with your family as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1c9f8536b2854f0860ae3/32e18fbb-0bd6-4ae1-9f15-3a860937b6d0/dates1.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1c9f8536b2854f0860ae3/bbcd0e9d-4b92-4c34-80e9-6fe17ef31aad/dates.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1c9f8536b2854f0860ae3/b5917383-53e1-4e8f-9792-b441d46a5110/IMG_9141.JPG Home https://www.sun-joules.com/our-story daily 0.75 2022-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1c9f8536b2854f0860ae3/db2987f9-6337-4831-92ef-e5feafa50ad3/IMG_2364.jpg Our Story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1c9f8536b2854f0860ae3/9ae0fb83-73d8-447d-abbb-76b530c224c3/IMG_2441+%282%29.jpg Our Story - Growing with Salt Water This farm has been organic since the beginning, when the only thing on the land was desert bushes and cactus. Although the soil is rich and fertile the only available water is well water, which unfortunately has a very high concentration of salt. This high salt concentration makes growing anything almost impossible. Palm trees are very resilient trees, but the problem with salt water is that apart from stunting our trees' growth it also makes the branches on which the dates grow very weak. When the bunch gets too heavy the branch bends thereby stopping the water from reaching the fruit and eventually killing it before it gets a chance to fully ripen. It took us many years of trial and error to figure out exactly what our dates needed. We tried so many different fertilizers, irrigation methods, tying and pruning methods, we often worried we would never get a substantial crop big enough to take to market. But due to the palm tree’s natural resilience, and our father’s determination and unwillingness to give up and see his dream come true, these strong trees were eventually able to adapt to their harsh growing conditions and slowly began to thrive. Knowing the importance of growing food organically, we decided to accept the fact that our trees would take longer to grow, and our fruit would be smaller, but they would also be healthier and tastier. We believe in our farm, and we believe that the taste of our medjool dates just can’t be beat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1c9f8536b2854f0860ae3/27dca05b-2ffe-4dd8-b50b-4b9297dce331/IMG_9093+%283%29.jpg Our Story - From our Family to Yours.

Carbohydrates are an important nutrient to consume pre workout because they are fast acting and turn into energy as soon as they are consumed. While an average banana (100g) provides the body with around 23g of carbohydrates the same amount of medjool dates provide 3 times that amount at 75g per 100g of dates. More importantly, carb consumption helps to replenish glycogen levels which typically run low during long workouts leading to fatigue and cramps. Protein We all know the importance of protein consumption post workout for muscle building and recovery. Being able to absorb protein more effectively can dramatically shorten recovery time. But did you know that carbohydrates drive the process of efficient protein absorption? When we consume carbohydrates with protein our body releases insulin, the elevated insulin levels help our muscles absurd amino acids thereby yielding better protein absorption and muscle recovery. Potassium Potassium is used by our body to manage fluid levels, send nerve signals, and regulate muscle contractions. 98% of the potassium in our body is found in our cells, of this, 80% is found in our muscle cells. Looking at these numbers we can see why potassium is such an important mineral to consume, too little potassium often leads to muscle cramps and soreness, especially in athletes. Potassium is classified as an electrolyte and once in water it dissolves into negative or positive ions that conduct electricity and allow our body to manage fluid balances in our cells. When potassium levels are low our body can’t regulate fluid levels; poor fluid balance leads to dehydration, muscle cramps, and a host of other ailments. It is no surprise sport drinks contain potassium and push the importance of replenishing electrolyte levels during exercise. Compared to a bananas’ 326mg of potassium, dates offer 696mg in the same serving size. Eating a couple of dates before your workout ensures you have enough potassium to see you through the exercise while avoiding other harmful substance that are often present in sports drinks as well as the added sugars. The slow and sustained release of potassium offered by medjool dates before a workout is unparalleled. Glycemic Index Medjool dates are super sweet, they are used as natural sweeteners in baking and are often referred to as “natures candy.” However, if we look at the glycemic index, which measures how food increases blood sugar levels, medjool dates are given a score of 36, where anything under 55 is considered a low GI food. What does this mean? You get all the energy without the crash. Apart from the benefits that medjool dates provide to our workouts they are also high in fiber, which not only helps regulate our digestive system but also helps us feel full longer. They are packed with magnesium and copper, which helps regulate muscle and nerve function and ensures our body gets enough iron. Medjool dates are loaded with antioxidants which help eliminate radicals from cells and reduce damage cause by oxidation. The benefits of consuming medjool dates goes on and on, from providing a natural energy source to preventing inflation. Next time you’re getting ready for your work-out or marathon race reach for the better alternative, Sun Joule Dates, and feel the difference. https://www.sun-joules.com/shop daily 0.75 2022-03-18 https://www.sun-joules.com/shop/p/2-lb-organic-medjool-dates monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1c9f8536b2854f0860ae3/e1025266-179d-43f3-bf45-7145d2983989/IMG_0455%281%29.jpg Shop - 2 lbs.
