Mazafati or Mozafati (Persian: مضافتی)[1] also called the Bam date, is a cultivar of the date. It is grown in southern Iran, mainly in Bam, Jiroft, Kahnuj (in Kerman province), Saravan, and Iranshahr (in Sistan-o-Baluchestan province).[2] It is a dark, soft, fleshy and sweet date of medium size (2.5 to 4.5 cm),[3][4] with a relatively high moisture content of between 32-35%; it varies depending on the time of harvest and the location of the grove. The date is suited for fresh consumption, i.e. not dried.[5] At a temperature of −5 degrees Celsius (23 °F) it can be kept for up to 2 years.[6] Mazafati Date harvesting time depends on the variety and starts in August, lasting to the end of October.[4]
