Irrespective of where you buy Iranian dates from, you should keep in mind the best quality, the best presentation and the most realistic prices. The Iranian Government has started restricting the sale of Iranian dates in the international market. Due to this the rates of the dates have fallen significantly and now they are comparatively cheaper than other types of dates available in the domestic market. One of the reasons why the Iranian prices are low is because of the presence of a large quantity of the fruits in Iran and the dates obtained through this method of cultivation of the fruits are always at the maximum use.
The taste of Iranian dates is quite similar to the dates that are acquired from the local markets of Iran. However, due to some stringent procedures the process of harvesting and preparing the best dates from Iran is much simpler and the quality of the fruit is much better. In addition to this, the texture of the Iranian dates is also quite similar to that of the locally grown dates and hence they taste very good. The black color of the skin and the taste of the Iranian dates is almost identical to that of the local produce.
Iranian dates are harvested using the traditional methods and the harvesting of these fruits is done only by Iranian and this allows them to retain the best quality and the freshness of the fruits. Due to the proper irrigation system the palms that are used for harvesting the dates do not dry out, but retain the moisture till the time of sending to the market. The soil in the region where Iran is located has got the perfect moisture levels and this is the reason that this is the region where the dates are cultivated the best. Irrigation systems are not an essential component of the whole date production process, but the moisture levels in the soil is necessary and hence it is very important that the moisture level remains constant in order to ensure the quality and freshness of the Iranian dates.
