Black Date Powder · 500 g
Inclusive of all taxes · Shipping from ₹60, added at checkout
The 500 g family jar of our black date powder. 100% black dried dates, nothing added.
पूरा खजूर। गुठली तक।
More of the date in every spoon. That is the whole idea behind Kala Kharik.
Nothing is thrown away. Fruit and seed are ground together, so every spoon carries the fruit’s fibre and minerals plus the seed’s fibre and polyphenols.
One ingredient on the label. No added sugar, no flour, no filler.
Slow-dried until crisp before grinding, so it stays fresh on its own.
Sorted by hand, washed, slow-dried, ground and sieved fine. Every batch, the same way.
चीनी सिर्फ़ मीठा करती है। खजूर मिठास के साथ बहुत कुछ लाता है।
Kala Kharik is the whole dried date, seed and all, ground fine. So when you swap it for refined sugar, the fruit's own fibre and minerals come into your cup with the sweetness.
Per 100 g. Typical values for dried dates and for white sugar, from USDA FoodData Central. Our own lab-tested values will appear here.
आठ कदम। एक ही चीज़: खजूर।
Kala Kharik is not just dates put through a grinder. Each batch goes through 8 slow steps, and nothing is added along the way.
Whole, ripe kharik is picked by hand. Broken or spotted dates are set aside.
Every date is washed in clean water to lift off dust.
The dates are air-dried until no water is left on the skin.
The whole dates, seed inside, are dried again on low heat until crisp right through. Keeping moisture low keeps the powder fresh without preservatives.
Each date is broken into small pieces, seed and all.
Fruit and seed are ground together into a fine powder.
The powder is sieved fine. Coarse bits go back to be ground again.
It is packed and sealed to keep out air and moisture.
गुठली भी, गुण भी।
Most people throw the date seed away. We grind it in with the fruit, so nothing of the date is wasted. Here is what research finds in date seeds:
Date seeds are about 67–74 g fibre per 100 g, most of it insoluble fibre.
Natural plant compounds, the same family found in green tea.
Present in the seed alongside the minerals in the fruit.
Typical values for date seeds from published studies (Journal of Food Science and Technology, 2015; Journal of Pharmacognosy & Phytochemistry, 2018). Not values for our product; our lab-tested values appear in the table above once ready.

घर की हर पीढ़ी के लिए
माँ
For mothersसबको चाय देने के बाद, एक कप अपने लिए।
After everyone’s chai, one cup for herself.
She sweetens everyone’s cup before her own. And when a little one arrives in the family, Maharashtrian kitchens make dinkache ladoo with kharik for the mother. Kala Kharik comes ready-ground for it.
बेटी
For daughtersजो आदत आज पड़े, वही उम्र भर साथ चले।
The habit she builds today stays with her for life.
Her chai, her cold coffee, her glass of milk after the gym. Sweetened with Kala Kharik, every spoon is whole dates instead of refined sugar.
दादा-दादी
For grandparentsखारीक छूटी थी, स्वाद नहीं।
They gave up kharik, never its taste.
Whole kharik is too hard for older teeth. Ground fine, it stirs into a glass of warm milk at bedtime, smooth and easy, with the date’s own fibre and potassium still in it.
बच्चे
For childrenपहली मिठास, सीधे फल से।
Their first sweetness, straight from the fruit.
A spoon in their warm milk or kheer, so the sweetness they grow up with is dates.
