Kabkab Dates
Iranian Kabkab dates are classified as soft, moist dates with a semi-dried texture. When unripe, the fruit appears yellow, gradually turning light brown and then deep brown as it reaches the wet stage.
Kabkab dates are elongated in shape and dark brown in color. They are known for their rich syrup content, pleasant sweetness, and excellent flavor.
These dates are mainly consumed in their moist or fully ripe stage. Unlike many other varieties, Kabkab dates have a slightly bitter taste when harvested before full ripeness.
