Seedcare Kimia Dates | Premium Iranian Black Dates | Iron Potassium Energy
Premium Kimia dates from Bam, Iran — deep toffee flavour, 7.5g fibre per 100g. Perfect for Iftar. Natural sweetener, no preservatives.
Kimia Dates — Iran's Most Beloved Export
Kimia (also spelled Kema or Kema) dates are produced exclusively in the Bam region of Kerman Province, Iran — an area with over 2,000 years of continuous date cultivation. The extreme desert heat (45°C+ summers) combined with cold nights creates the unique concentration of natural sugars and nutrients that make Kimia the most popular date variety in Iran.

Ramadan Significance
Dates hold profound spiritual and nutritional significance in Islam. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is documented to have broken his fast (Iftar) with dates and water — a tradition followed by hundreds of millions of Muslims globally.
The nutritional wisdom of this tradition is now scientifically understood:
Why dates are ideal for breaking a fast: 1. Immediate glucose restoration: After 14-16 hours of fasting, blood glucose is low. Dates' glucose immediately restores blood sugar without overwhelming the digestive system. 2. Potassium replenishment: Fasting depletes electrolytes through reduced intake. Potassium (21% DV) restores cellular electrolyte balance. 3. Digestive preparation: The fibre in 1-3 dates gently activates digestive enzymes before a full meal. 4. Moderate portion: 2-3 dates (30-40g) provide 75-105 kcal — enough to prevent overeating at Iftar without causing fullness.
6 Health Benefits
1. Sustained Natural Energy The combination of glucose (fast energy) and fructose (slow energy) with fibre (slows absorption) creates the ideal energy profile — no spike, no crash.
2. Digestive Health 7.5g fibre per 100g (higher than Medjool) makes Kimia dates particularly effective for bowel regularity. The natural enzymes also support digestive health.
3. Heart Health Potassium (21% DV) reduces blood pressure. Fibre lowers LDL. Polyphenols reduce inflammatory markers.
4. Bone Health Manganese + Copper + Magnesium combination supports bone matrix formation and mineral density.
5. Natural Sweetener Use as a 1:1 replacement for sugar in recipes. Make date paste by blending with water and use in baking, smoothies and chutneys.
6. Pregnancy Nutrition Like Medjool dates, Kimia dates contain compounds that sensitise oxytocin receptors. Recommended in the final 4 weeks of pregnancy under medical supervision.
How to Use Kimia Dates
Iftar Tradition: 2-3 dates with water to break the fast. The classic and nutritionally optimal Iftar opening.
Date Paste: Blend 200g Kimia dates with 100ml water. Natural sweetener for cakes, smoothies and chutneys.
Stuffed Dates: Make a slit, remove seed, stuff with walnut or almond. Traditional Middle Eastern and Indian dessert.
Date Shake: Blend 4-5 dates with milk, cardamom and a pinch of saffron. Natural energy drink.
Khajoor Chutney: Kimia dates, tamarind, ginger, cumin and black salt. Classic sweet chaat chutney.
