Premium IranianSayer Datesfor Global Markets
Sayer Dates, also known as Sayir and Stamaran Dates, are Iranian semi-dry dates harvested at the appropriate stage of maturity from the date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.). Their semi-dry texture, pleasant black-brown color, naturally sweet flavor and relatively low moisture content make them a popular choice for international date markets. Sayer Dates contain naturally occurring sugars and provide dietary fiber, minerals, vitamins and antioxidants. VHA Foods supplies Sayer Dates for importers, wholesalers, distributors and food manufacturers, with whole or pitted grades and flexible packaging options.
