Dry dates are a type of dried fruit that are made from ripe dates that have been dried under the sun or in a dehydrator. They are commonly eaten as a snack or used as an ingredient in a variety of dishes.

Dry dates are a good source of fiber, antioxidants, and essential minerals like potassium, magnesium, and iron. They are also high in natural sugars and calories, making them a good source of energy.

Dry dates have a chewy texture and a sweet, caramel-like flavor. They can be eaten on their own or added to smoothies, oatmeal, baked goods, or savory dishes like stews or tagines. They are also commonly used in traditional medicines, especially in Ayurveda, due to their various health benefits.
