Our 4 Softies
Are you into soft dates? But you do not know which of the many varieties we offer to choose? We have the perfect solution for you! Try our assortment of four soft date varieties and find out which one is your favorite.
This offer includes the following varieties:
Our delicious Astaka dates are large and round with tender flesh and crispy skin. Their color varies from dark yellow to brown. The lighter ones are firmer, fleshy and crunchy, while the darker ones are softer and creamier. Astaka have a mild and slightly sweet taste. Since they are very fresh dates, they should always be kept in the freezer. They are excellent iced!
It is normal that the consistency of Astaka dates varies. They are never exactly the same. It happens indeed that the dates located lower in the box are softer and a little crushed. This phenomenon is natural and is not a sign of bad quality.
The royal dates, as the Sukari are also called, are cone-shaped and have a wrinkled skin. Their colour is a rich brown with golden yellow tones and they have a caramel-like, fruity flavour with a silky aftertaste of honey. These delicious dates come from Al-Qasim in Saudi Arabia. They are not too sweet, but quite soft and just pure delight!
Our Bawalini dates are very juicy and sweet. Their skin is slightly crunchy and their flesh so incredibly tender that they melt in your mouth. In taste, Bawalini are similar to Sukari Soft but slightly less sweet, with a distinct caramel flavor instead.
They are perfect to be eaten as is, for example as a healthy snack. As they are very soft, they are also excellent for baking or smoothies.
