The Turbat dates are among the most popular varieties of dates in Pakistan. The fruits are usually categorized as soft, dry, or semi-dry in reference to their texture and taste. Besides being a rich source of fiber, Turbat dates are also high in potassium, magnesium, copper, and manganese. Most do contain a significant amount of fruit sugar, but this can make them a healthy alternative to more caloric desserts.

As a result, they have a unique flavor. This variety has a high invert sugar concentration. For this reason, they are mainly used as ingredients or formulations. Pakistan is the only producer of Turbat Mix Dates on the global marketplace. Consequently, Pakistan’s export of dates is dominated by its production. Plantations of Turbat Mix Dates are located in Baluchistan Province in Pakistan.
