Black Sphinx Date
Ark of Taste Products > Black Sphinx Date
The Black Sphinx is a distinctive variety of date discovered as a rogue seedling in Phoenix, Arizona in 1928. It is most likely the result of a genetically unique seed that fell from an established Havani date tree. Once discovered, it became very popular and a grove was established in what is now the Arcadia neighborhood in Phoenix. Unlike the more ubiquitous Medjool date, the Black Sphinx is plump and tender with a very thin, dark mahogany colored skin. It melts in the mouth leaving behind notes of caramel, vanilla, flowers and honey. Unfortunately, the date is no longer produced on a commercial scale because its thin skin and delicate flesh make it unsuitable for shipment and distribution.
