HEALTHY FACT

KHIDRI Dates contain less sucrose sugars , more fructose or invert sugars, which are favored from a health stand point. The invert sugars also give the KHIDRI Date its long shelf life. The Al Fakhra KHIDRI Date thus reaches the consumer in its natural condition, without the necessity of being rehydrated .

Al-Fakhra Dates are rich in Potassium, Iron and Vitamin A , and contain Vitamin B1, B2 and B3, Phosphorous, Calcium, Magnesium and natural fiber. At the same time, they are low in fat and Sodium, and the average Al-Fakhra date contains less than 50 calories. To produce better and healthier Dates, Al Fakhra uses a thinning program that sacrifices up to 70% of the immature fruit. We handle the Dates in a manner designed to preserve the natural fresh condition of the Dates. All of which make the Al Fakhra Dates the fruit most appropriate for presentation to the modern consumer. Al-Fakhra Dates combine good flavor, nutritiousness and appeal with freshness and long shelf life to make them the best choice for every modern produce department .
