- Originating in Egypt, the Khidri date is the most renowned Bateel variety. This date is large with a cylindrical and elongated shape, commonly amber to dark brown in colour with wrinkled flaky skin. It is delightfully soft and chewy with a sweet raisin-like flavour and caramel aftertaste. - Khudri dates are a uniform dark brown color, not too wrinkly (dates can range from smooth to as wrinkly as a prune depending on the variety). The skin of these dates flake a little. Taste: moderately sweet, nice â??dateâ?? flavour, chewy but not dry.
