Dates (Khajoor)
Common questions from importers about sourcing, quality, and exporting Dates (Khajoor) from India.
-
What varieties of dates does Aethon Overseas export?We export high-quality dates including the popular Kimia and Mazafati styles, as well as dry and semi-dry varieties processed in India. Our dates are selected for their high moisture content, natural sweetness, and uniform size.
-
Where are these dates sourced and processed?We source dates from the prime date-growing regions in India (such as Kutch, Gujarat) and also process premium imports to ensure they meet international export standards for cleanliness, moisture, and quality grading.
-
What is the recommended storage for dates to ensure a long shelf life?To maintain the soft texture and prevent sugar bloom, dates should be stored in a cool, dry place, ideally under refrigeration (0-5°C). When stored correctly, they maintain peak quality for 12 to 18 months.
-
Which industries use dates as a primary ingredient?Dates are widely used as a natural sweetener in the health food industry (energy bars and balls), in the production of date syrup and sugar, and as a premium ingredient in gourmet baking and confectionery.
