Khidri dates are a Jomara bestseller, a variety originally from Egypt and now primarily grown in Saudi Arabia. With their dark maroon skin and chewy texture, they offer warm flavors that sit somewhere between raisins, caramel, and cacao. Similar in size to Medjool, Khidri is like the lesser-known, but equally captivating, cousin, each bringing its own unique texture and flavor to the table. These large dates are soft yet satisfyingly chewy, with slightly wrinkled, flaky skin. They pair beautifully with strong flavors, such as espresso, a square of dark chocolate, hard cheeses, or savory dishes that need just that right touch of sweetness, making them perfect for snacking or creative recipes. Grown completely in harmony with nature, untreated, and 100% free from pesticides or chemicals, Khidri dates provide a good source of fiber, energy, potassium, and magnesium, while also reflecting sustainable farming practices. Every harvest is unique: some Khidri may taste fudgy, reminiscent of brownie batter, while others lean toward a warm caramel and raisin flavor. Khidri date palms are known to be more robust and resilient, making them stronger against diseases than many other date varieties. Khidri dates are best stored cool and dry, ideally in the fridge. Many prefer to bring them to room temperature before eating so that they become a little bit softer to chew and because it allows the natural aromatics of the date to really come out. Khidri dates; a new favorite waiting to be discovered. Shelf Life for current Harvest: 18.07.2027
