Medjool Date Packaging

Sugaring and crystallization.

Dates and dried fruit
The problem

Fresh Medjool dates are low-respiring but very sensitive to humidity swings. As they dry, sugar crystallizes on the skin and texture turns grainy; in damp storage they ferment.

StayFresh film is calibrated to this crop's respiration rate. It lets in just enough oxygen, lets CO2 and ethylene out, and holds humidity where the produce needs it. Packers see 30 to 40% longer shelf life in the cold chain, measured on their own line during the two-week test.
