Ushaiqer Khalas 500 g

Ushaiqer Khalas by Intaj Al-Khair, 500 g

If you are used to very soft Khalas and want something different, Ushaiqer Khalas is worth a try: a distinctive pale colour and a firm texture. The half-kilo pack from Intaj Al-Khair is a practical size for finding out whether this character suits you before buying the large pack.

Taste and texture

The bite is steady and clear, and the sweetness is rich in the manner of Al-Ahsa dates. It does not melt quickly in the mouth, so the flavour lingers through a cup of coffee and two dates go a long way.

Serving and storage

• Serve at room temperature.
• Keep the remainder in an airtight container in the fridge.
• The freezer suits anyone keeping it beyond a couple of weeks.

Who is the 500 g pack for?

It suits someone who wants a serious trial without committing to a kilo, and who likes to take some dates to work or to a family majlis. Because of its firm texture it travels in a bag better than the softer types.
