Description
Dried dates are ripe date fruits that have been naturally or mechanically dehydrated to preserve their sweetness and extend shelf life. The drying process concentrates their natural sugars, resulting in a chewy texture and rich, caramel-like flavor. In Bangladesh, they are an integral part of Ramadan, traditionally eaten at iftar to break the fast, following the Sunnah. They are also enjoyed year-round as a quick energy snack, chopped into desserts, or paired with nuts. Nutritionally, they are packed with fiber, potassium, and natural sugars that provide an instant boost.
