What are Sukkari Mufattal dates?
Sukkari is a Saudi date variety known for its golden colouring and pronounced natural sweetness. “Mufattal” describes a firmer, drier presentation rather than the softer, fresher form of Sukkari. This makes the dates convenient for pantry storage, serving and gifting.
What do Sukkari dates taste like?
Sukkari dates are characteristically sweet, with a caramel-like flavour. The Mufattal style has a firmer bite and less moisture than soft Sukkari, so customers should choose it specifically when they prefer a drier texture.

- Natural variation: colour, size and firmness can vary between harvests.
Sukkari vs Ajwa vs Medjoul dates
Sukkari Mufattal dates are lighter, sweeter and firmer. Madinah Ajwa dates are smaller, darker and more compact, with a gentler sweetness. Palestinian Medjoul dates are typically larger, softer and more succulent. The best choice depends on the texture, sweetness, origin and serving style you prefer.
