Long before modern confections lined store shelves, there was Kharek — the sun-dried essence of dates, revered in Indian households for its rich sweetness, earthy undertones, and natural nourishment. At Surili, we honor this age-old delicacy with a curated trio: Golden Kharek, Masala Kharek, and Red Kharek — each a thoughtful rendition of tradition, taste, and wellness.
This is not just dried fruit. This is ancestral nourishment dressed in contemporary flavor — a timeless indulgence that bridges the wholesome and the indulgent, the nostalgic and the novel.
A Glimpse into the Roots of Kharek
Derived from the finest dates, Kharek (or dried dates) has been part of Ayurvedic and culinary traditions for centuries. It was once carried by travelers and offered in temples — a natural sweetener, an energy booster, and a symbol of abundance.
In ancient Indian households, Kharek was often consumed during fasting seasons, blended into laddoos, or offered as prasad. Its resilience to spoilage, natural sweetness, and mineral-rich profile made it a pantry staple that transcended regions and rituals.
Today, Surili brings this humble heritage to life in three distinct avatars, each crafted with care and reverence for its roots.
The Trio of Taste: Golden, Masala, and Red
🌟 Golden Kharek
Sun-dried and subtly sweet, our Golden Kharek embodies purity and grace. With its warm hue and delicate chew, it’s a quiet reminder of how nature gets it right — no embellishments needed.
🌶️ Masala Kharek
For those who seek a touch of drama, Masala Kharek is where sweet meets spice in a perfectly choreographed dance. Infused with hand-blended Indian spices, it’s a flavor-packed treat that awakens the palate and complements digestive rituals after a meal.
🍒 Red Kharek
Striking in appearance and bold in taste, Red Kharek is soft, intensely flavored, and slightly sticky — a luxurious indulgence for those who enjoy their traditional sweets with a rich, full-bodied twist.
Each variant is packed in hygienic, travel-friendly plastic bottles — perfect for gifting, sharing, or savoring solo.
A Fusion of Wellness and Flavor
Kharek is not only delectable; it’s nutritionally generous. Here’s what it brings to the table:
-
🧡 Natural Energy Boost – Packed with natural sugars like glucose and fructose for an instant uplift.
-
🧠 Rich in Iron and Potassium – Supporting blood health and heart function.
-
🌿 Digestive Support – Especially when combined with masalas, it aids post-meal digestion.
-
💪 Bone Strengthening – A source of calcium and magnesium, making it a nourishing snack for all ages.
Tradition, Taste & Timelessness in a Bottle
Whether you enjoy it after lunch, share it with guests, or keep it as a cherished item on your festive tray, Kharek by Surili is more than a snack — it’s a connection to the past, a tribute to nature, and a step toward mindful indulgence.
Let the warmth of sun-dried sweetness meet the richness of Indian flavor in every bite.
