About Mazafati dates

Mazafati dates are a soft, dark variety of date, commonly associated with Iran. They are eaten as fresh, ripe fruit and used as a sweet ingredient in snacks and recipes; their softness distinguishes them from many drier dates.

The fruit has dark, often nearly black skin and moist, tender flesh around a central pit. Its flavour is sweet and rich, and the texture can range from soft to very soft depending on ripeness and storage. Fresh, moist Mazafati dates should not be treated as equivalent to dried dates.
