Description
Rabbi dates are native to Iran and one of the country’s most important agricultural products. They have a long, oval shape and are primarily reddish in color, a feature that sets them apart from other date varieties. In addition, Rabii dates are semi-dry dates, so they have a low moisture content, which means that they also have a longer shelf life.
Rabbi date trees only grow in two regions in Iran and are exported worldwide. The most significant demand is in Central Asia, India, and Pakistan. The area producing Rabbi dates has a long history of cultivating date palms, over 2,000 years. Rabbi dates are rich in fructose and lactose and suitable for consumption by persons with diabetes or high blood pressure. Eating Rabbi dates may help digestion because of the high fiber content and might aid those with anemia, as they have a high mineral content. In addition, the seed inside Rabbi dates is rich in antioxidants and is used to make date seed oil, which is used in the cosmetic industry.
