Dates, especially Medjool dates, grown and/or marketed by Jordan River, Yevuley Eretz Bereshit ("Genesis Land"), Tamar Ha'zahav ("Golden Date"), Vered Ha'tamar, Dekel Ha'bikaa ("Valley Palm"), Zorganika	N.S.

Medjool is not a brand name, rather a species of date palm originally from Morocco. Most of the medjool dates tht are marketed in Israel come from settlements, yet some originate from within the Green Line or are Palestinian produce. Often it is difficult to determine the origin. Jordan River apparently attempts to deliberately mislead by exporting dates in boxes with no mention of the origin of the produce. Instead, there is only writing in English and Arabic, and "Orientalist" illustrations that create the impression that they are Arab products. When marketed in Israel, stickers are added to the packages noting the origin of the dates as the Jordan Valley.
