Description
Zahidi dates are the fruit of a palm tree that is very valued for landscaping. In addition, the dates preserve their shape, so they are suited to be exported. The date fruit has a medium size, round shape, a golden color, and tastes sweet and nutty. The texture of the Zahidi date is somewhat chewy and semi-dry, and the taste is buttery and reminiscent of dried apricots.
Zahidi date palm trees can produce up to 136 kilos of fruit in one season, making this variety one of the most prolific date palm trees. With its chewy texture, the Zahidi date is excellent for baking, as it will maintain its integrity when cooked. In addition, these dates can be used in sweet and savory recipes because they are not as sweet as other varieties. For example, try making some sesame almond balls in which the buttery taste of the Zahidi date is perfectly paired with sesame and almonds.
