Mazafati (Rotab Bam) Dates

Kurma Mazafati Rotab Bam — The Black Honey Date from Bam, Iran

Mazafati Rotab Bam is among the world's most prestigious date varieties. Known also as honey wet dates, Kimia dates, or simply Bam dates, this cultivar originates directly from Bam City in Kerman Province, southern Iran — a land that has produced exceptional dates for over 2,000 years. At Green Diamond, we import directly at the source, ensuring every fruit reaches your hands in peak freshness.

Origin: Why Bam Produces the Best

Bam sits at approximately 1,000 meters above sea level, surrounded by desert terrain with extreme day-night temperature swings. These conditions — mineral-rich alluvial soil, ancient qanat irrigation, and dry mountain air — create Mazafati Bam's distinctive character: deep glossy black skin, exceptionally soft flesh, and a layered honey-caramel sweetness found nowhere else.

Mazafati accounts for roughly 20% of Iran's total date exports, and the finest grades consistently come from the Bam district. Not all Mazafati is Bam-origin — make sure you're getting the genuine article.

Characteristics & Flavor Profile

• Color: Deep, glossy black like polished obsidian — a sign of optimal ripeness
• Size: Medium, 2.5–4.5 cm, oval-cylindrical, uniform
• Texture: Exceptionally soft, almost melting; thin skin with no chewiness
• Moisture: 32–35% — higher than most date varieties, keeping flesh fresh and juicy
• Taste: Rich, deep sweetness with honey and light caramel notes; well-balanced, never cloying

Thanks to an unbroken cold chain throughout the import process, our Mazafati Rotab Bam arrives in Jabodetabek as fresh as the day it was packed — no dehydration, no fermentation.

Benefits of Mazafati Rotab Bam Dates

Beyond their exceptional taste, Mazafati Rotab Bam dates are nutrient-dense. Key benefits based on nutritional literature and traditional herbal medicine include:

• Instant energy source: Natural sugars (glucose, fructose) absorb rapidly — ideal for breaking fast, pre-workout, or active snacking
• High fiber: 6–8g of fiber per 100g supports digestive health and prevents constipation
• Mineral-rich: Potassium (650–700mg), magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus support heart, bone, and nervous system health
• High iron: 2.7mg per 100g — over 3x the average fruit — helps combat iron deficiency anemia
• Active antioxidants: Flavonoids, carotenoids, and phenolic acids protect cells against oxidative stress
• Pregnancy support: Folate supports fetal development; traditionally believed to facilitate natural childbirth (traditional belief, not a medical claim)
• Prophetic Sunnah: Breaking the fast with dates follows the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad SAW — making this a choice for both worship and nutrition
