Sufri dates are small, dark-brown to nearly black dates with a rich, deep sweetness reminiscent of molasses and a soft, slightly chewy texture. Often called “black dates,” they are intensely sweet with a hint of caramel and a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth consistency. Packed with fiber, potassium, and antioxidants, they aid digestion and energy levels. Sufri dates are commonly eaten fresh, added to desserts, or paired with nuts and cheeses. Their dark color and concentrated flavor make them a favorite for natural sweetening and Middle Eastern dishes.
