Safawi Dates

Safawi Dates

Safawi dates have a beautiful dark brown colour. They are rather firm and have a fine taste that is slightly reminiscent of coffee. Their aftertaste is not as sweet as other types of dates, so you can nibble a lot without any problems.

Origin:

Medina region, Saudi Arabia.

How should dates be stored and at what temperature do they taste best?

Dates should always be stored in an airtight container to prevent them from drying out. We recommend storing the dates in the freezer whenever possible.

Soft dates (such as Bawalini, Astaka, Sukari Soft)

– Always store cold, if possible in the freezer.

Semi-soft dates (such as Medjool, Anbara, Sukari Chewy)

– Up to 5 months: keep in the refrigerator
– 5-12 months: store in the freezer

Can be eaten cold or at room temperature.

Hard / firm dates (such as Mabroom, Safawi, Ajwa)

– Up to 1 month: can be stored at room temperature
– Up to 5 months: keep in the refrigerator
