Safawi Dates 250g — The Lightest Way to Meet Safawi
Every loyal Safawi customer started with a single first bite. We designed the 250g Safawi pack precisely for that moment: a small pack of ±22–30 Premium-grade dates, enough for the family to enjoy over a few days, at a price that requires no second thoughts. On marketplaces, 250g packs of this variety run Rp20,000–51,000 with quality that is not always clear; ours is Rp32,000–48,000 with the grade stated and the best-before date printed.
What Will You Taste in the First Bite?
Safawi is a semi-dry date from the Madinah region: jet-black skin with fine wrinkles, an elongated oval shape, and thick flesh. The bite is chewy — never hard like stale dried dates, never wet or sticky either. The sweetness is rich and dark-caramel-like, with an earthy finish that makes people pause, then reach for a second piece. If your reference point is the ordinary sweet dates from the Eid jar, Safawi will feel like an upgrade. If you grew up calling these Kalmi dates, this is exactly that fruit.
One Pack, Many Roles
- Personal iftar treat: three dates with water — a light yet satisfying fast-breaker.
- Work and school snack: semi-dry and non-sticky, safe in a bag without refrigeration.
- Small gifts: a thoughtful addition to hampers or a polite hospital-visit gift.
- The compatibility test: before committing to 1kg, make sure the whole family approves — they usually do.
Pack Size Comparison for New Buyers
| Pack | Contents (approx.) | Price Range | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 250g | ±22–30 pieces | Rp32,000–48,000 | First taste, iftar, lunch box |
| 500g | ±45–60 pieces | Rp79,000–95,000 | Small family, 2–3 weeks |
| 1kg | ±90–115 pieces | Rp150,000–175,000 | Repeat buyers, monthly stock |
An honest note: per kilogram, the small pack is the most expensive — that is the cost of packaging. If you already know you love Safawi, jumping straight to 500g or 1kg is far more economical. The trial pack is for the undecided.
The First-Bite Ritual We Recommend
To give the first encounter a fair trial, do not taste straight from the fridge — cold dulls the flavor. Let two or three dates reach room temperature, then notice three things: the jet-black sheen of the skin, the calm dark-sweet aroma up close, and the chewy first bite before the caramel spreads across the tongue. Taste one plain first, then repeat with warm unsweetened tea. Most people only discover the earthy finish on the second piece — which is usually the exact moment the 500g order gets decided.
The Same Date You Brought Home from Madinah
Many of our first-time buyers are families just back from umrah, or people who received dates as souvenirs and wondered what that "chewy black date" was called. The answer is almost always Safawi — together with Ajwa, it leads sales at the Madinah Central Date Market where Indonesian pilgrims shop. This 250g pack is the easiest way to continue that memory at home, from the same fresh direct-importer stock.

FAQAsked & answered
About this pack
How many dates are in the 250g pack?
Around 22–30 Premium-grade pieces depending on the harvest batch — enough for a 3-date daily iftar treat for over a week.
Why do some marketplace 250g packs cost only Rp20k?
Those are usually promo prices, unsorted mixed grades, or aging stock. Compare per kilogram and check whether the grade and best-before date are stated — two things we always print.
Is the trial pack suitable as a gift?
Very much — as a hamper add-on, a visit gift, or small committee tokens. For a more memorable centerpiece gift, see our 1kg Hajj & Umrah Gift Box.
Is it cheaper to buy 250g twice or 500g once?
500g once is almost always cheaper per kilogram. The trial pack is designed for tasting, not subscribing — we say this openly.
How long does the 250g pack last after opening?
In an airtight container at cool room temperature, it stays enjoyable for 1–3 months; refrigerated, much longer. At this size, it is usually finished well before then.
