Barhi is the golden-yellow date cultivar, prized for its crunchy khalal stage (eaten fresh, like a sweet apple) and its soft amber rutab / tamr stage (cured, sweeter, longer shelf). We ship Egyptian Barhi to Uzbek importers across both stages, in retail and bulk formats, sourced from Nile Delta growing regions.

Common questions
-
What is the difference between khalal and rutab Barhi? Khalal is the bright-yellow, crunchy fresh stage — eaten like a fruit. Rutab and tamr are the amber, soft, sugar-cured stages — longer shelf, conventional date snacking.
-
Is Barhi suitable for retail export to Uzbekistan? Yes — both stages have retail clamshell formats. Khalal ships fresh by air; rutab and tamr ship by sea, road, or air depending on volume and timing.
-
What's the season window? Khalal is the August-October fresh window. Rutab and tamr are available year-round from cold storage.
-
Can Barhi ship in the same shipment as Medjool? Yes. Mixed-cultivar date FCL is a standard offer — see also Medjool dates.
