Ushaiqer Khalas 1 kg

Ushaiqer Khalas by Intaj Al-Khair, 1 kg

Ushaiqer Khalas from Intaj Al-Khair is a date with a distinctive light colour and a firm bite, for those who like to feel the fruit between their teeth rather than have it melt away. The 1 kg pack suits a family used to this character in their dates and wanting enough in stock.

Taste and texture of Ushaiqer Khalas

The pale colour is its most visible trait, followed by a firm texture that gives a steady bite rather than extreme softness. The sweetness is clear and rich, as with Al-Ahsa Khalas, but arrives with a firmer chew.

Serving and storage

• Keep in an airtight container in the fridge so it holds its texture.
• Use the freezer for long storage and take it out an hour before serving.
• Serve at room temperature with coffee.

Why the 1 kg pack?

A firm texture makes these dates good for storing and carrying, as they do not soften quickly. That makes the kilo a sound choice for dates eaten over several weeks, or taken along on family trips.

Frequently asked questions

Is Ushaiqer soft or firm?

It is relatively firm, the clearest difference from softer grades such as Super Jumbo.

Is it good for trips?

Yes. Its firmness makes it easier to carry than very soft dates, as long as the pack is sealed.

How should I store a kilo?

In an airtight container in the fridge, and in the freezer for amounts beyond what you will eat soon.
