What are Dried Dates (Chuara/Kharik)?
Dried dates, often called Chuara or Kharik in Hindi, are dates that have been sun-dried to remove most of their moisture content. This process concentrates their natural sweetness and gives them a firmer, chewier texture compared to fresh dates. They are a good source of natural energy, fiber, and various minerals.
