Zagloul date palm (Phoenix  dactyllifera) is widely cultivated in Egypt. The immature dates (Kimri stage) with less commercial value were used for processing into date pickle, date jam and  candied/ glazed/ chocolate coated dates. Chemical composition, and changes occurred during the pickling process were determined. pH, tannins and pectin were dropped gradually and a gradual increase in titratable acidity expressed as % lactic acid was noticed. The aforementioned products were found to be acceptable with respect to colour, taste, texture, odour and overall acceptability. These results showed that acceptable and nutritious zagloul date products can be prepared and marketed as specialty products.
