Production & Sourcing
Diced dried dates are made through a process that begins with harvesting ripe dates from palm trees. The dates are cleaned, sorted, and pitted to remove the seeds. Once pitted, the dates are either air-dried or mechanically dehydrated to reduce their moisture content. These dried fruits are then diced into smaller pieces using specialized equipment.
