Mazafati dates are one of the most popular types of dates, known for their moist and soft texture. When fully ripe, these dates are black and glossy, and the darker they are, the riper they become. Other characteristics include their smooth and thin skin. Due to their benefits, Mazafati dates are often consumed during Ramadan. This type of date originates from Kerman province, particularly Bam, which is why many consumers refer to them as Bam Mazafati dates.
