"The Red Crown of Egypt"

Egypt's most beloved date. Bright reddish-amber skin, crisp-yet-yielding flesh, intense honey-sweet flavor with subtle tannins. Cultivated for centuries across the eastern Nile Delta governorates of Sharqia, Damietta, and Dakahlia. The defining variety of Egyptian autumn — sold by the cluster at Cairo markets when in season.
