Dry Dates (Frehi Dates)

Dry Dates – A high-stability export product for wholesale trade and long-term industrial applications

Frehi dry dates are one of the most important varieties of dry dates in Egypt, and represent a strategic choice in international trade thanks to low moisture content, high stability, and long shelf life.

At Oasis Gold, we supply dry dates from Egypt, led by Frehi dates, as an export product managed with an operational mindset, tailored for importers, manufacturers, and wholesale traders who require a stable dry product suitable for long-term storage and economically efficient.

Why are Frehi dry dates a smart commercial choice?

Frehi dry dates are relied upon in commercial supply programs based on a set of clear operational characteristics, most notably:

  • Naturally low moisture content
  • Excellent stability during long-term storage
  • High resistance to sea freight and long-distance transport
  • Lower operational cost compared to semi-dry dates
  • Well suited for wholesale trade and industrial use
  • Naturally dried product with no additives

For these reasons, Frehi dry dates are relied upon as one of the core products within the dry dates category across many industrial and commercial supply programs.

Naturally dry dates – sun-dried on the palm

Frehi dry dates are produced within the naturally dried dates category, where they are dried on the palm through the effect of:

 

  • Intense desert sunlight
  • Low ambient humidity
  • A clean and dry desert environment
  • Precise control over sugar and moisture levels

This natural drying process provides:: 

  • A firm, dry texture
  • High microbiological stability
  • Excellent storability without washing or wet processing

Simple processing that preserves stability and quality

Due to its naturally dry nature, Frehi dates do not require water washing during the post-harvest stage.

The product is managed through a set of carefully defined operational steps, including:

  • Manual harvesting after full natural drying on the palm
  • Additional sun drying when required
  • Careful manual sorting to remove defects
  • Approved sanitization in accordance with health regulations (without leaving any residual traces)
  • Packaging ready for storage or export

This methodology ensures an operationally stable, clean product that is suitable for long-term storage within commercial supply chains.

High operational efficiency for storage and processing

Thanks to their low moisture content, Frehi dates are ideal for programs that require:: 

  • Long-term storage
  • Slow inventory rotation
  • Intensive industrial use
  • Long-distance shipping with minimal risk

As a result, Frehi dates are successfully used in: 

  • Food manufacturing
  • Date syrup (molasses) production
  • Grinding into natural date sugar powder
  • Bakeries and confectionery
  • Traditional seasonal beverages
  • Wholesale and traditional bulk markets
