What Are Dates (Khajoor)?

Dates come from the date palm tree and have been grown and eaten across the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia for thousands of years. In India, khajoor needs no introduction. Every household knows it, whether it is on the Eid table, inside a halwa, or eaten plain with milk before bed.

What most people do not know is that local markets usually stock one or two varieties. The actual range of premium khajoor online is far wider, with each variety carrying its own origin, taste, texture, and best use. Also:

• Naturally cholesterol-free and very low in fat

• Rich in natural sugars, fiber, potassium, magnesium, and iron

• Good premium dates online should come naturally dried with nothing added

• Each variety is suited to something different, daily eating, cooking, gifting, or health-focused use

How Are Dates Grown and Harvested?

Date palms take four to eight years to start bearing fruit and can produce dates for over a hundred years. One tree yields 70 to 140kg per season.

• Palms are often hand-pollinated to control quality and fruit set

• Harvest happens in stages between August and October as dates ripen on the bunch

• Ajwa, Medjool, and Mazafati are always hand-picked to avoid bruising the soft flesh

• After picking, dates are sorted by size, moisture, and grade before export

• Poor storage after harvest degrades texture and taste fast, which is why sourcing directly from the origin matters

• GGT Foods sources every variety of dates online directly from growers, not through intermediary warehouses
