With their velvety texture and syrupy sweet caramel flavour, these jumbo-sized dates with the glossy, crinkly skin are the rock star of the date industry.
Segments in the outer whorl are small and spreading while the inner whorl forms the fruit valves, which are rounded or kidney-shaped and have either entire edges or crinkly ones.
The winter-blooming, mildly fragrant, yellow flowers (to 2.5 centimetres long) have four, narrow, ribbon-like petals that are straight rather than crinkly.
