DESCRIPTION

Shahani date is another very popular and well-known date in Iran, which is one of the sweetest dates in Iran. This date is considered as a wet date, which is also harvested as semi-wet and dry, but what makes it taste good is its softness and wetness.

Although the palm of this date is found and cultivated in various cities in Iran, but its main origin should be considered Fars province and especially the city of Jahrom. More than 95% of the date palms that are planted and cultivated in Jahrom city are Shahani dates.

This date is elongated and narrow-pointed and is often seen as light brown, although it is also dark brown and slightly yellowish in color. This product is very similar to Rabbi dates and sometimes it is misdiagnosed with this date, although it can be easily distinguished by seeing the brown color of this date(shahani) and its narrower shape than Rabbi dates. The length of this date is normally between 3 to 5 cm and the humidity of this date depends on its type, but for the wet type it is less than 25%.

Shahani date is harvested in autumn. When the date is fully ripe, gardeners immediately pick it up and pack it. It can be stored for a while, but you should know that the storage conditions are special. The ideal temperature for storing these dates is 10 to 20 degrees Celsius but we recommend +5 to +8 for more long time. As mentioned earlier this date is very sweet, so the storage place should be well ventilated and away from sunlight.
