About Khaisab Dates
Taste
The Black Khaisab is a soft, black date fruit. This organic date, in its native homeland, is often consumed in the Khalal stage. The Kahlal stage is when the date fruit is still hard and crisp; before it begins to ripen and soften. In this date ripening stage, it is quite sweet and slightly astringent with a striking red color. In the U.S. it is usually allowed to ripen fully and is prized for its rich, sweet flavor and distinctive black color. These fresh dates are California grown!
