DJ Ryan, Consumer Sales Representative at Sun Date, joined us at Southern Exposure 2011. Sun Date is the largest grower of Medjool & Deglet Noor dates in the country; their most popular item, a 1 lb pack of Medjool dates, has been a hit with retailers. The Medjool is considered to be the "Cadillac" of dates, much more like a fresh produce item than traditional dry dates, according to Mr. Ryan. Along with having more potassium than a banana, Sun Date's Medjools are offered year round, with big spikes during traditional holidays like Christmas and Easter, as well as Ramadan.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
