Zahidi Dates – Semi-Dry, Golden & Nutrient-Rich

Zahidi dates are a semi-dry variety of dates, valued for their firm texture, nutty flavor, and golden-amber color. Originally from Iraq, Zahidi dates are now also cultivated in parts of Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan. Their balanced sweetness and chewy consistency make them ideal for both direct consumption and industrial uses like baking, cooking, and energy bars.

Zahidi dates are a powerhouse of nutrients—rich in fiber, potassium, and antioxidants—and are low in moisture, giving them a long shelf life and excellent storage stability.
