We take a lot of pride and care in our organic and sustainable farming practices and we think you will be able to tell that in just one bite of our premium golden Zahidi dates!

The golden Zahidi date is a bit different from the more popular Medjool date, as it is a semi-dry/semi-soft date with a nutty flavor and slight tang, similar to a dried apricot. Like most dates, the golden Zahidi date is packed with fiber, minerals, and antioxidants. Golden Zahidi dates also have almost all 20 amino acids! So whether you like to eat fresh Zahidi dates or dry Zahidi dates, you can rest assured your body will thank you!

Zahidi dates are recommended for those who would prefer a slightly less sweet date and have a nutty flavor, not unlike peanut butter. Coachella’s Best dates grow Zahidi premium dates in the California sunshine and arid climate of the Coachella Valley at Del Rey Farms. The golden Zahidi date translates as “of small quantity or nobility.” They are a bit smaller than their cousin the Medjool date, “the fruit of kings.” History tells us that Zahidi dates were eaten by royalty and thought to fend off fatigue. This might be because of how the natural sugars and compounds found in the Zahidi date react in our bodies, giving us sustained energy.

There are many health benefits to eating fresh Zahidi dates or dry Zahidi dates. The flavonoids present in Zahidi dates help to reduce inflammation and the carotenoids promote heart health. The team of dedicated and experienced farmers and palmeros here at Coachella’s Best Dates work our 40 acres of palm trees that was once home to a ranch getaway for the Hollywood elite. Now we think the true stars of the show are our Zahidi dates. Shop our online store to order your gourmet box of premium Zahidi dates today!

The Coachella Valley is well known as an agricultural mecca and is the perfect location to grow organic Zahidi dates in California. The climate here mimics the arid climate that dates fruit originated from, the middle east. On 40 acres at Del Rey Farms, Coachella’s Best tends to their date palm trees as if they were family. From the time the seed goes into the soil, to the time we pluck the Zahidi date from the tree, we pour our love into the process. The Zahidi date palm trees are aptly guarded by our Great Pyrenees pups while they also watch our herd of Dorper sheep graze the orchard and pastures, helping us maintain our organic practices.
