A type of date palm variety, or a sweet variety of date fruit known for its soft texture and honey-like flavor.
From Arabic 'halawi' (حلاوي) meaning 'sweet,' directly describing the taste characteristic of this particular date variety cultivated throughout the Middle East.
Halawi dates are so soft they're almost melting, and they have this incredible caramel-like sweetness—they're the dates that spoiled people (including me) prefer over the chewier medjool or deglet varieties.
