What Are Fresh (Rotab) Dates?
Fresh dates — known as rotab in the trade — are dates picked at the soft, moist “rotab” stage, before they fully dry out. Compared with dried dates, they are softer, juicier and more perishable, so they are usually kept chilled. Iranian Mazafati from Bam is one of the best-known fresh/rotab dates, prized for its honey-soft, almost melting texture.
Characteristics of Fresh Dates
- Texture: soft, moist, tender — not dried out
- Colour: vibrant and consistent for the variety
- Aroma: sweet and pleasant, never sour or musty
- Storage: best kept refrigerated to preserve freshness
