Dates – zamli ‘natures caramel’

Description

Originally from Saudi Arabia, the zamli date has a toffee-like texture with a flavour likened to caramel. They are a small and soft variety which are oval in shape with deep wrinkles in the skin.

Zamli dates are eaten at all three stages of ripeness but best enjoyed when tamer (fully ripe).

Fully mature zamli date trees can yield 250-300 kilos of dates per year.
