Zahedi dates

Zahedi dates are a semi-dry, firm date variety primarily grown in southern Iran, including Fars, Kerman, and Hormozgan provinces. Known for their golden to amber color and low moisture content, Zahedi dates have a mild, nutty sweetness and a dense, chewy texture. Their firm flesh makes them ideal for long-term storage, export, and use in cooking, baking, or as a healthy snack. This variety is especially appreciated for its stability and versatility compared to softer, high-moisture dates.

Semi-Dry & Versatile

Zahedi dates are medium to large in size, typically oval-shaped with a glossy golden to amber skin. The flesh is firm, less sticky than soft varieties like Mazafati, and offers a gentle, nutty sweetness that makes it suitable for both eating fresh and culinary applications.

Nutritious & Naturally Sweet

Zahedi dates are rich in natural sugars, dietary fiber, potassium, magnesium, and iron, providing a steady source of energy and essential minerals. Their low moisture content (approx. 10–15%) allows for long shelf life at room temperature, making them convenient for export and storage without extensive refrigeration.
