WELCOME TO THE GREAT DATES OF SAUDI ARABIA
















From region to region, the most popular dates include khlas, khunaizi, bukayyirah, gharr, shaishiruzaiz in the Eastern Province, and nubout sayf, sufri, barhi, sukkari, sullaj and khudhairi in Qasim and the rest of the Central Province. In the west, including Madinah, people mainly favor ‘anbara, ‘ajwah, rothanah, baidh, rabi‘ah, barhi, hilwah, hulayyah, safawi, shalabi and sukkari.

Part of the reason that people in each region consider their own dates the best is because horticultural practices, soil, water and climate favor different dates in different areas. For example, the sukkari dates in al-Hasa are very good, but as a general rule, they are not considered quite as good as the sukkari dates from Qasim or Madinah.

@ Arthur,

Iba na ang spelling ng name mo ha! Yes, the sugar content is 98%. But it does help at nakakaastig talaga.

@ Ron,

The yellow varieties ay di masyadong matamis. The red ones super tamis! Have you ever tried the green variety? They are not sold commercially!
