What Arrives in Your Order
Your order contains premium-grade Kalmi Jumbo Dates with their natural seeds intact. Every pack is hygienically sealed to preserve freshness before being placed inside protective outer packaging that helps reduce movement during shipping. Depending on the weight you choose, you’ll receive fewer dates than regular Kalmi because each fruit is considerably larger and fleshier.
If you’ve bought our regular Premium Black Kalmi Dates before, you’ll notice the difference straight away. Jumbo Kalmi aren’t a different variety—they’re simply carefully selected for their noticeably larger size while keeping the same soft texture and characteristic flavour.

Simple Ways to Enjoy Them
Enjoy them straight from the pack with your morning tea or coffee, serve them during iftar, or pair them with roasted almonds and walnuts for an elegant snack platter. Their larger size also makes them ideal for stuffing with pistachios, almond butter, or soft cheese when preparing festive desserts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these different from regular Kalmi dates?
The variety is the same. Jumbo Kalmi are selected for their larger size and fuller flesh, giving you a more substantial bite while keeping the familiar Kalmi taste.
How many dates are there in one kilogram?
Jumbo Kalmi generally contain around 45–65 dates per kilogram. The exact count naturally varies with each harvest and grading.
Do these dates contain seeds?
Yes. These are whole dates with their natural pits intact.
Should I refrigerate them?
They’ll keep well in a cool, dry cupboard while sealed. Once opened, refrigeration is recommended, especially during India’s warmer months, to maintain their soft texture.
Why aren’t all the dates exactly the same size?
Because dates are a natural fruit, slight differences in size, colour and shape are completely normal. Jumbo grade means the batch has been selected for larger fruits, not identical ones.
Every pack is carefully selected and sealed before dispatch so you receive fresh, premium-quality Kalmi Jumbo Dates. Since jumbo grades are available only in limited quantities from each harvest, stock may vary throughout the season.
