Ajwa Dates
Ajwa dates are a specialty of the Medina region in Saudi Arabia.
Their production does not exist anywhere else! They are among the most renowned date varieties in the world.
They are well known in traditional Eastern medicine, where they are believed to act as a natural remedy when eaten every morning. They are packed with nutrients and antioxidants that help combat various ailments and everyday health issues.
Their flesh has a thick, fruity, and naturally sweet texture, reminiscent of caramel, with a subtle hint of licorice. Ajwa dates are mostly black in color, sometimes very dark burgundy.
TAYIBA offers Ajwa dates in either fresh (“Routab”) or firm (“Tamr”) versions, available in medium or large sizes. The large size is carefully selected to provide the highest quality, large-caliber dates.
When fresh, these dates are tender and creamy. Their skin is slightly wrinkled and cracks lightly when bitten due to their moisture. The firm version is highly nutritious, rich in fiber, and provides all the energy needed to start your day.
Ajwa dates are an age-old food, traditionally considered the perfect breakfast companion.

How to Choose
Ajwa dates range in color from black to reddish, sometimes with a striped pattern at the tips. Their flesh is thick and slightly fibrous around the pit.

Ajwa dates are perfect breakfast companions. In winter, they pair wonderfully with citrus fruits. In summer, enjoy them with mangoes or watermelon.

Fresh Ajwa dates (Routab) can be stored in the refrigerator for several weeks. Firm Ajwa dates (Tamr) can be kept for several months in a dry place, ideally in an airtight container.
