Barhi are fresh dates, that taste like butterscotch candy, crunchy when in yellow state and soft in their brown state. These unique dates can be consumed in two different stages, either as fresh dates (Khalal), where they are yellow, crunchy & semi-sweet or at an advanced stage of ripeness (Rutab), where the skin becomes thin and crackling and their interior tastes of delicious caramel and brown-sugar.
