Wholegood themselves only deliver to London but that wasn't what @MrsStepford said.

Milk & More is available nationwide and works like any other retail site.

I am aware of the London only delivery now, I was looking to see wholegood prices as we all know that milk & more can be a rip off with pricing and this proves it by being £5.50 for 500g so more expensive than we have seen.

Medjool dates have health benefits- just Google
they are also known as California dates it appears

"The Medjoul is a Juicy and soft, meaty and sweet date. The origin of the Medjoul is Morocco, Known as the King of Dates due to it's size & taste. Its size is 16-35g and its shape is Elongated."

High in antioxidants & minerals
Medjool dates are also an excellent source of phytonutrients, plant compounds that may have health benefits. Studies show they can stimulate the immune system, reduce inflammation, prevent DNA damage, and improve hormone regulation.

dont know about the health benefits but boy are they delicious compared to the old "glovebox dates" I used to eat. Give them a try, you won't go back.

Wholegood is primarily an organic food service/wholesaler. AFAIK the only retailers supplied are Ocado and Milk & More. The quality is excellent. 

Milk & More isn't positioned as a cheap milk delivery service but as more of a rival to artisan producers. No minimum order and free delivery so if you want a couple of pints of milk or a loaf of sourdough, you don't have to make up a £40 order or even a £25 order. Regular offers. We have an order set up for four organic yogurts on Mon, Wed, Fri. 

Watts Farms www.wattsfarms.co.uk is a farming and food service business which started a home delivery service during lockdown and has continued with it. Some organic produce in the summer, grown on the farms. Huge range of fresh herbs grown on their farms, unusual and hard to get veg, fairly decent prices for good quality stuff as supplied to Goodwood Racecourse and Radisson hotels. Weekly offers.

Husband says for cheap dates (not medjoul) try B&M. He saw Tunisian dates for 79p per pack on Monday.

That’s still expensive, £8 a kilo is definitely not a deal sadly 😢
