Anbara Dates
Anbara are dark colored dates with a lightly structured skin. They’re chewy and therefore very aromatic. The flesh is tender yet almost slightly crispy. Anbara are quite big in size, but very light and not too sweet, which makes them a perfect snack any time of the day.
How should dates be stored and what’s the recommended serving temperature for dates?
Dates should always be stored in an airtight container so they don’t get dry. We recommend keeping the dates in the freezer whenever possible.
Soft dates (like Bawalini, Astaka, Sukari Soft)
Always keep them cold, if possible, in the freezer.
Eat them cold from the fridge or the freezer. They taste great when frozen!
Medium soft dates (like Medjool, Anbara, Sukari Chewy)
– Up to 5 months: Store them in the fridge
– 5- 12 months: Store them in the freezer
Eat them cold from the fridge or at room temperature
Hard/chewy dates (like Mabroom, Kabar, Ajwa)
– Up to 1 month: You can store them at room temperature
– Up to 5 months: Store them in the fridge
– 5- 12 months: Store the dates in the freezer
They taste best at room temperature.

These are so bog and interesting looking! We tried them out of curiosity and found so so delicious! Our favorite way is to fill them with ricotta and then to grill them. Don’t forget to serve them with some balsamico! Really divine!
