Dry dates (also called **chuhara / kharek**) are simply fresh dates that have been sun-dried or dehydrated to remove their moisture. This gives them a harder texture, longer shelf life, and concentrated sweetness compared to soft dates like Kimia or Medjool.
### Key Features of Dry Dates:
* **Texture**: Hard, chewy, and dry.
* **Color**: Usually light brown to dark brown.
* **Shelf life**: Much longer than fresh dates; can last for months if stored in a cool, dry place.
* **Taste**: Naturally sweet but less juicy than fresh dates.
* **Nutrients**: Rich in iron, calcium, potassium, and dietary fiber. Known to boost energy and immunity.
* **Uses**:
* Consumed as a snack
* Used in sweets, laddoos, and halwa
* Soaked in milk overnight for health benefits
* Ground into powder for kids’ and elderly nutrition
