Basra Date Syrup

Basra Date Syrup (known in Arabic as Debis) is a traditional Middle Eastern sweetener made entirely from concentrated date juice. The brand name 'Basra' refers to the city in Southern Iraq, historically one of the most famous regions in the world for date palm cultivation and the production of high-quality dates.

Traditionally, this product is manufactured in Iraq, utilizing local date varieties that are boiled and pressed to extract their natural sugars. The brand is often associated with family-owned businesses or regional cooperatives specializing in authentic Mesopotamian food products. It is imported globally to serve the Middle Eastern diaspora and health-conscious consumers seeking natural alternatives to refined sugars. Currently, the brand is owned by an Iraqi-based food enterprise focused on traditional agricultural exports.
