Barhi Dates – Sweet, Tender & Naturally Delicious

Barhi dates are one of the most delicate and flavorful varieties of dates, known for their soft, tender texture and rich, butterscotch-like sweetness. Originating from Iraq and widely cultivated in Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern regions, Barhi dates are prized for their unique taste and versatility.

They are often enjoyed in two forms: fresh (yellow and crunchy, known as “khalal”) or ripe (soft and brown, known as “rutab”). Barhi dates are rich in fiber, potassium, and natural sugars, making them a wholesome snack and a natural energy booster.
