The difference between dates and wet
In the palm tree, first the blossoms of the female palm turn into a green, hard and seeded fruit, which is called (chagali).
In the next stage, the leaves may turn yellow or red, which is called khark dates , the hot sun of tropical regions after a while makes the khark dark and juicy, which is called retb .
Some types of palm trees are picked and used when their fruit is wet ; Like Mozafati and Kabkab (golden yellow) and some others, after the moist phase, it should be left on the palm for 20 days in the heat of the palm tree in tropical areas until it becomes semi-dry, which is called dates , such as Zahedi and Pyaram semi-dry dates.
