The center of each date contains an elongated pit and range in color from a deep brown, crimson or dark purple. The fruits are formed in clusters under the palm-like leaves and are classified into three cultivars: dry, semi-dry and soft.
Cire dates are medium to large sized oblong shaped fruits. They have thick caramel colored flesh that surrounds a single seed. Cire dates are known to have a unique, granular texture with a very distinct, but not overpowering, aromatic flavor.

Empress dates are a light caramel to maroon in color, while most have a distinctive yellow crown at the top of the fruit. The flesh of the Empress date maintains similar coloring as the skin, a light caramel color and surrounds a singular seed.
Barhi dates are rare for being tasty in both their yellow, crunchy state (khalal in Arabic) and their soft, brown state. At this rutab stage of ripeness, their skins are thin and crackling, giving way to a smooth, creamy interior that tastes like brown sugar and caramel.
