Zahedi Dates

Description

Zahedi Dates – the crunchy, lightly sweet date

Buy Zahedi dates online from MaxiFlavour and discover one of Iran’s most popular everyday dates. Zahedi dates are small, oval and golden-amber, with a firm, semi-dry texture and a gentle sweetness that is far less intense than Medjool or Mazafati. Their mild, slightly nutty flavour makes them a favourite with people who find soft dates too sweet.

Origin and quality

Our Zahedi dates are grown in the sunny date groves of southern Iran and sourced directly from the growers we work with. They are 100% natural: no added sugar, no sulphites, no oil and no preservatives – just sun-ripened dates, selected and checked before they reach you in the Netherlands and across Europe.

Taste and texture

Firm and chewy with a dry, caramel-like finish. Zahedi dates keep their shape well, which makes them ideal for chopping and for anyone who prefers a less sticky date.

How to store Zahedi dates

Because they are semi-dry, Zahedi dates store very well. Keep them in an airtight container in a cool, dry cupboard for several months, or in the fridge for up to a year.

Serving ideas

• A light, energising snack with tea or coffee
• Chopped into granola, porridge or salads
• Stuffed with almonds or walnuts
• Ground into date sugar or blended into smoothies
