Khidri dates are a Jomara bestseller, a variety originally from Egypt and now primarily grown in Saudi Arabia. With their dark maroon skin and chewy texture, they offer warm flavors that sit somewhere between raisins, caramel, and cacao. Similar in size to Medjool, Khidri is like the lesser-known, but equally captivating, cousin, each bringing its own unique texture and flavor to the table.
These large dates are soft yet satisfyingly chewy, with slightly wrinkled, flaky skin. They pair beautifully with strong flavors, such as espresso, a square of dark chocolate, hard cheeses, or savory dishes that need just that right touch of sweetness, making them perfect for snacking or creative recipes. Grown completely in harmony with nature, untreated, and 100% free from pesticides or chemicals, Khidri dates provide a good source of fiber, energy, potassium, and magnesium, while also reflecting sustainable farming practices.
Every harvest is unique: some Khidri may taste fudgy, reminiscent of brownie batter, while others lean toward a warm caramel and raisin flavor. Khidri date palms are known to be more robust and resilient, making them stronger against diseases than many other date varieties.
Khidri dates are best stored cool and dry, ideally in the fridge. Many prefer to bring them to room temperature before eating so that they become a little bit softer to chew and because it allows the natural aromatics of the date to really come out.
Khidri dates; a new favorite waiting to be discovered.

A pioneer of organic date farming
Directly Sourced from the Farm
Jomara is a pioneer of organic farming in Saudi Arabia. They have a long history of certified EU-organic cultivation. From the palm groves to your table, we source our dates directly from the farm and the people who tend the palms, keeping the process direct and transparent.
Built on generations of date farming, Jomara grows its dates using only sustainable and organic farming practices that focus on soil health, water conservation, biodiversity, and long-term care of the date palms. The palm groves are managed fully without pesticides, pollinated by hand, and irrigated using traditional systems that respect the surrounding land.
Intentional farming at every step
How the Dates Are Grown and Harvested
Every year, the farmers at Jomara climb the date palms and carefully prune each date bundle by hand to ensure that every date has the optimal amount of sunlight, air circulation and space to develop properly. All organic waste, including the thinned sections, are reused as nutrient-rich compost, minimizing waste and keeping the soil fertile. When harvest season comes around, every date is harvested by hand and individually evaluated to ensure optimal quality and ripeness. The dates that don’t meet quality standards are never wasted, they either go back to the soil, or are used to make date paste/syrup. Jomara’s commitment to sustainability is reflected in their closed-loop farming, where nothing is wasted and everything supports the life of the grove.
Organic Farming, Clear Labeling
Organic Certification and Transparency
Jomara’s palm groves are fully EU-organic certified, as they grow exclusively under traditional and organic principles. Due to Swiss import regulations, we had to remove the organic label from the packaging as we don’t have the proper documents to import products as “organic” yet. The dates themselves are the same ones as Jomara’s dates that do have an organic label, the only difference being the packaging.
Jomara’s dates are packed in resealable ECOPURE paper pouches which are biodegradable, recyclable, and designed to reduce unnecessary plastic while keeping the dates fresh and protected for everyday use.
