One type of dates produced in Iran is known as Sayer (Stamaran). Exclusive to the Khuzestan province, Sayer dates account for over 80% of the cultivated palms. Sayer dates are supplied in three varieties of seeded, unseeded, and date chips. Widely utilized in various food industries, including biscuits, beverages, cakes, sweets, juice, pickles, vinegars, and date nectar, Sayer dates are popular due to their high sugar and low cellulose content and are exported to most countries in Europe, Australia, America, Africa, Asia and the Pacific for food and industrial uses. This magnificent date also swarms with natural sugar – levels passing 75% – making it one of the most sweetened dates. The pure and healthy sugar stacks have turned the sugary fruit into a potent finger-sized energy bar that quenches the human body’s thirst.
