This prestigious 1 kg package box contains authentic Ajwa dates, revered for their distinctive round shape and deep black color. They possess a unique, firm yet yielding texture, and their flavour is complex and moderately sweet, with rich, fruity notes reminiscent of prune and a subtle, almost spicy, finish.
Hailing from the holy city of Medina in Saudi Arabia, Ajwa is arguably the most esteemed date in the world. Its fame is rooted in deep spiritual significance within Islamic tradition, where it is known as the 'King of Dates' and is cherished for its believed healing and protective properties.
Due to their sacred status, Ajwa dates are traditionally consumed whole, often in the morning, to fully appreciate their unique qualities and benefits. While not typically used in baking, they can be soaked in milk or water overnight or mashed into a paste to be taken as a wholesome supplement.
