Sukkari Mufattal Dates 1kg (Harvest 2025–2026)

Sukkari Mufattal vs. Sukkari Galaxy: Unlike Sukkari Galaxy, Sukkari Mufattal dates have a firmer texture and a lighter brown color. Both varieties are juicy and soft, but Galaxy is slightly more moist, while Mufattal is more elastic and springy. Some people love the very moist, delicate texture of Galaxy; others prefer the slightly firmer, springier structure of Mufattal—both are equally delicious, the difference is mainly in texture!

What makes Sukkari Mufattal special?

The traditional “Mufattal” process: The name refers to a centuries-old natural drying method that sets these dates apart from the softer Galaxy grade. Growers in Al-Qassim carefully monitor each ripening stage to achieve the ideal balance—golden fruit that stays gently juicy inside while developing a firmer structure. The result is a date that isn’t sticky and holds its shape beautifully.

Perfect for practical use: Compared to ultra-soft Galaxy dates, Mufattal is easier to handle. It doesn’t stick to your fingers, slices cleanly, and keeps its form. The first bite can feel like a soft confection, then melts into a satisfying texture—great even for those who find typical soft dates too sticky or too soft.

Authentic Sukkari flavor: Mufattal keeps the signature Sukkari taste loved across the Middle East—just in a firmer format. Its golden tone and balanced profile come from Al-Qassim’s ideal conditions: hot desert sun and mineral-rich soils.

Product origin: The heart of Arabian tradition in Al-Qassim

These Sukkari Mufattal dates come from fertile oases in the Al-Qassim region of central Saudi Arabia. Known worldwide as the “garden of dates,” it is home to more than 8 million palm trees. This is where the traditionally dried Sukkari style—Mufattal—is produced, reflecting a time-tested processing tradition.

Why is Al-Qassim so special?

Ideal microclimate: The unique combination of intense desert sun and rich underground water sources creates perfect ripening conditions. That’s what gives Sukkari Mufattal its golden hue and authentic taste.

Generational craftsmanship: Our dates come from farms with a long tradition where growing and the “Mufattal” drying process is a craft passed down through generations. Each fruit is the result of patient care, hand harvesting, and strict selection of the best pieces.

Home of a world-famous date festival: Al-Qassim hosts the largest date festival in the world—the Buraidah Date Festival—where over 300,000 tons of dates are sold each year. On prestigious markets and auctions, Sukkari Mufattal is appreciated for its practical structure and long shelf life.

The traditional “Mufattal” method: Mufattal isn’t just regular Sukkari—it’s a traditionally dried style with a firmer structure and longer shelf life. Fruit is harvested at optimal ripeness, then naturally dried using a method that requires experience and precision.

Important note: pit and safety

• Natural with the pit: Dates are delivered in their authentic, unprocessed form and each fruit contains one pit. Thanks to the soft, pliable flesh, the pit is easy to remove with your fingers or a small cut.

• Children and safety: When serving dates to children, please be extra careful. Always remove the pit before eating. For small children, it’s safer to slice the date lengthwise to ensure the pit is removed, then cut into smaller bites.

Storage and shelf life: how to keep freshness without chemicals

Our dates are 100% natural, without chemical treatment or preservatives. To keep the best taste and texture, we recommend:

• After delivery: Transfer dates into an airtight container and place them in the fridge.

• Best freshness in the fridge: At +5 to +7 °C, they stay in perfect condition for at least 3 months.

• Odor protection: Dates easily absorb surrounding aromas. A sealed container is essential to keep their natural scent.

• Long-term storage (up to 1 year): You can freeze them without worry. At -18 to -20 °C, they remain ideal for 12 months.

• Serving culture: For everyday use, dates look great in a glass jar with a lid—elegant and it helps prevent moisture loss.
