Mazafati dates (Mazafati jujube) are high-quality dates (fruit of the date palm) mainly grown in the Bam region in southeastern Iran. Known for their rich sweetness, soft texture, and rich flavor, they are popular among health-conscious people around the world.

These semi-dried dates have moist flesh and a dark brown to black rind. They are high in natural sugars, making them an ideal sugar substitute and energy supplement, especially during fasting periods such as Ramadan, where they provide a fast-acting source of nutrition.

Mazafati dates are rich in dietary fiber, iron, magnesium, potassium and other minerals, and are said to be useful for promoting digestion, preventing anemia and recovering from fatigue. They also have a high shelf life and can maintain their quality for a long time when stored in the refrigerator.

They are delicious on their own, can be enjoyed as a snack with yogurt and nuts, or used as an ingredient in smoothies and desserts.
