How to choose the right variety of dates?

There are no varieties that are better than another. On the other hand, depending on your tastes and the desired use, it may be preferable to opt for certain dates.

Gourmet dates

If you want to make an original gift to your loved ones, opt for example for Mabroum dates: This high-end variety has a texture close to that of candy. We also recommend the dates Medjool Organic, often considered like the “queens” of all varieties, as well as the Ajwa dates, ancestrally famous.

If you want to use dates in the kitchen, for example to make an original spread or a date caramel, turn more to our Khudry dates, a variety also commonly used in chocolate and baking. The Sukary dates and Safawi, for their part, go very well with dried fruits or marzipan.

Dates, as allies of health

In general, all dates are known for their energetic properties. They are thus particularly appreciated by athletes, before or after intense effort, to quench and fortify the body. For this use, we particularly advise you to consume the varieties Barhi and Sukary. Conversely, before exercise, the varieties Mabroum or Khudry are recommended.

Rich in fiber, dates are also an excellent appetite suppressant as well as a valuable aid for transit. They can thus be integrated into a regime. This is particularly the case of the varieties Khudry, Medjool or Mabroum.

To break your fast, the Sukary Routab is essential, just like the Barhi Routab for connoisseurs. Finally, to accompany your breakfast, the essential Ajwa date is among the most famous. Its notoriety in preventive medicine is absolute from the Maghreb to the Machreq. We also offer it in the form of molasses, ideal to replace honey, industrial spreads or jam, using only natural sugar.
