Ajwa dates ( 1kg pack ) from medina, saudi arabia

Some dates are just sweet. Ajwa is something else. Grown around Medina in Saudi Arabia, it arrives nearly black with a dry, wrinkled skin and a flavour closer to dark cocoa and light caramel than plain sugar. This is Khan Dry Fruits' retail pack — 1kg for the household, 500gm and 250gm for trying first.

About this Ajwa pack

Ajwa's standing comes from where it grows and how it eats: soft without being mushy, deep rather than sharp in sweetness. Because the name is often borrowed by ordinary dates, buying it in a labelled, sealed retail pack matters more here than with any other khajoor.

Why people order this one

For genuine Medina-origin Ajwa with the weight printed on the front — no loose, unlabelled stock. It suits Ramadan gifting, iftar trays, and everyday eating when you would rather have three good dates than a handful of ordinary ones.

Taste, texture and the real thing

Soft, dark and gently caramel-like — not syrupy, not dry. The skin should be intact and the flesh should give slightly when pressed. A clean, sweet date aroma is right; anything rancid or oddly oily is not.

How to spot genuine Ajwa

Prefer clear origin labelling that says Medina, Saudi Arabia, and be wary of unrealistically cheap "Ajwa" with no grade context — real Ajwa is never the cheapest date in the market. Check the seal and pack date, and compare the same weight and grade rather than headline prices. Our identification guide lists the practical checks.

Pack sizes

Confirm live prices and stock in the buy box — dry-fruit prices move with season, grade and stock.

Keeping Ajwa fresh

Sealed is best. Refrigerate soft premium dates like Ajwa in hot weather; otherwise an airtight container away from stove heat and sunlight. Serve with a dry spoon — moisture shortens shelf life. See storing in heat and humidity and the monsoon storage guide.

Ways to enjoy

A few dates on an iftar tray, beside nuts in a mixed platter, or in a small Ramadan gift box. If they feel firm after storage, a few hours at room temperature in the sealed pack usually softens them.
