Khudry or khudri is a traditional date variety hailing from Saudi Arabia. These dates are less expensive than most other varieties and they have a dark brown color and a cylindrical shape with wrinkled skin. The size ranges from medium to large. They are a natural source of sugar which makes them an ideal organic sugar substitute. They may also protect one from abdominal cancer and promote cardiovascular health. Dates are also touted as the solution to obesity due to their natural non-saturating sugars.
