The first batch of Egyptian imported Barhi fresh dates arrived in the Chinese market last week.

"Egyptian fresh dates have completed relevant approvals for entering the Chinese market in 2019, and this year is the first year of imports." Egyptian Barhi fresh dates are golden yellow in color, similar in shape to olives, weigh about 15-20 grams per fruit, and have a crisp and sweet taste. The first bite is slightly astringent, but because the sugar content is as high as 30 degrees, you can then taste the refreshing and non-greasy sweetness. At present, there are only two varieties of dates that are suitable for fresh consumption and have a mild astringency, and Barhi is one of them. "

"The production season of Barhi dates starts in mid-to-early August each year and lasts until the end of September or early October. Due to the climate of the place of origin, only a few hundred tons meet the export standards this year. The taste of Egyptian fresh dates is highly praised in the industry, and they are mainly exported to the European and Southeast Asian markets, with the largest consumption in the European market. "

It is understood that the areas where dates are currently grown include the Middle East, Peru, Thailand, etc. According to the introduction, dates are generally divided into two types: fresh and dry. The dates grown in Iran, Saudi Arabia and other places are mainly dry; Egypt, Peru and Thailand can grow fresh varieties. Among them, Peruvian dates are more attractive, with better appearance and color; Egyptian dates have a more prominent flavor and higher sugar content."

Depending on the different processing methods of dates, the pricing of dates is also different. Dates can be only cleaned and graded, or the pitting process can be added later, and then processed into date paste by machine. We look forward to more machines to make dates present different finished products.
