Description
Piarom dates are an Iranian date variety from the mountain region in the country’s south and are known internationally as chocolate dates. Because the palm tree that produces them only grows in the mountainous regions, there are few areas where they can be planted, which makes Piarom dates one of the most expensive date varieties you’ll find. These dates are usually harvested from October to November. Piarom dates are dark brown, with a thin skin and chocolate flavor. Per Arad Branding, Piarom dates have fewer calories than other date varieties, which makes them a good option for people with diabetes.
Piarom dates can be consumed alone but can also become part of some delicious dishes. They have a low moisture content, meaning they have a longer shelf life when stored in an airtight container.

Piarom dates are also used to make date sugar, which presents certain benefits compared to sugar cane sugar.
