The Dates exported from South Africa include several premium varieties, each with its own unique characteristics and uses. These high-quality dates are exported worldwide, meeting international standards for health and safety. Here are the key varieties of Dates included in the export from South Africa:

1. Medjool Known as the "Queen of Dates," Medjool dates are large, fleshy, and have a bright yellow color. These dates are primarily used in smoothies, shakes, and various sweet dishes. Although they are not suitable for raw consumption, they are prized for their rich taste and texture.

2. Hallawi Hallawi dates can be consumed both raw and dried (as chuhara). These dates are early fruiting, tolerant to rain, and produce high yields (around 50-80 kg per tree). Known for their sweet flavor, Hallawi dates are versatile and popular in many dishes.

3. Zahidi A mid-season variety, Zahidi dates are semi-dry and small in size. They have a distinct texture, making them highly suitable for processing into pind khajoor. Due to their texture and size, they are not ideal for raw consumption but are widely used in various processed forms.

4. Khadrawi Slightly less sweet than Medjool, Khadrawi dates are soft and silky with a golden-red flesh. These dates are available in the fall and early winter. They are highly favored for their smooth texture and consistency, making them a top choice for consumers seeking soft, moist dates. Khadrawi is a high-yielding cultivar with smaller trees.

5. Barhee Barhee dates are small, spherical, and sweet, with a smooth, crunchy texture and a golden-yellow color. They are high in flesh content and are suitable for raw consumption. This variety is also highly productive, yielding 60-110 kg per tree.

6. Hayany These dates are soft, oblong, and dark brown, with a rich, sweet flavor. Hayany dates are typically used in desserts and dishes, but they are also excellent for raw consumption. The average yield per palm is around 30-40 kg.

7. Deglet Deglet dates are medium-sized with a semi-dry texture and a crunchy bite. They are available in late summer and fall and range in color from yellow to amber. These dates are less sweet than Medjool and have a large seed. The semi-dry texture and crunchiness make them ideal for processing and snacking.

8. Kimia Known for their meaty texture and smooth skin, Kimia dates are brown-black and widely regarded as one of the most delicious varieties. They are suitable for both raw and dry consumption and are often used in desserts. Kimia dates are perfect for table use and are known for their rich taste and texture.

The almond nut export from South Africa includes a variety of high-quality almonds, each catering to specific market preferences in both domestic and international trade. Here's a closer look at the major almond varieties from South Africa:

1. Nonpareil This is one of the most popular and premium almond varieties, known for its thin outer shell and smooth, blemish-free nuts. Its attractive appearance and light color make it ideal for both direct consumption and processing, especially in products requiring a smooth, high-quality nut.


2. Carmel A soft-shell variety, the Carmel almonds are often used for blanching and roasting. Though it's technically a California type, it's popular enough to be distinguished on its own. It's often substituted for Nonpareil due to its similar characteristics, but with a slightly different texture and flavor profile.

Butte almonds are commonly used in various products and are popular for their distinct appearance and medium to small size. They have a slightly different texture than other varieties, making them suitable for export to diverse markets.

While similar to other California types, Peerless stands out for its sturdy shell and reliable consistency, making it a solid export option.

5. Sonora Known for its paper-thin shell and dark brown color, the Sonora variety is large in size and narrow. It has a rough surface, which makes it distinctive from other varieties.
