Frequently Asked Questions

How are dry dates different from fresh or Medjool dates? Dry dates (chhuhara) are fully dehydrated, resulting in a harder, chewier texture with a more concentrated, less moist sweetness compared to fresh Medjool or deglet noor dates.

Do they need refrigeration? Dry dates are shelf-stable at room temperature when kept in an airtight container. Refrigeration extends shelf life further in warm climates.
