Dry Dates

Dry dates are simply dates that have undergone a drying process to remove most of their water content. Dry dates are dried varieties of dates, which are the fruit of the date palm tree (Phoenix dactylifera). Dates are typically dried naturally in the sun or through mechanical drying methods, resulting in a reduced moisture content. Dry dates are wrinkled, darker in colour, and have a chewy texture compared to fresh dates. They are often smaller in size than their fresh counterparts.
