Sukkary – Khalas – Raziz – Soft Medjool – Shabibi
Advantages:
-
Fast pit extraction
-
Minimal product loss
-
Homogeneous, highly elastic date paste
✔ Semi-Dry Dates
Examples:
Barhi – Safawi – Semi-dry Ajwa
Advantages:
-
Excellent pit removal performance
-
Requires appropriate mechanical pressure adjustment
✔ Dry Dates
