What Is Dayri Date?
Dayri or Dairi date hails from the southern regions of Iraq and can be found during autumn.
Dayri dates are named after Dayr, a location where a monastery is situated. This is why they are commonly referred to as “The Monastery date.”
.
Dayri, as a dry and sweet date variety, is also produced in the south of Iran, Khuzestan Province (Ahvaz, Khorramshahr, Abadan, Shushtar, Shadgan), Bushehr, Kazeroun, Borazjan and Behbahan.
.
While Dayri dates share a similar size and texture with Medjool dates, they have a stronger flavor and are less sweet. Dayri can be a good substitute for the Medjool date.
.
Dayri date fruits are not harvested when fully ripe; they are picked when they have lost their moisture. When Dayri dates are harvested late, they develop a dry outer texture that helps preserve the properties of the date and increases its shelf life.
