Premium Safawi Dates 500g

Premium Safawi Dates 500g — The Most Popular First-Order Size

If you are about to buy Safawi dates online for the first time, the 500g pack is the most sensible entry point. On Indonesian marketplaces, 500g Safawi dates are the size that changes hands the most — a single popular listing has logged more than 5,000 packs sold at around Rp89,000. We take that market benchmark and raise the standard: Premium sorting with large fruit, tightly sealed packaging, a clearly printed best-before date, and pricing that is published openly with no haggling required.

What Do Premium Safawi Dates Taste Like?

Safawi is a semi-dry date variety native to the Madinah region of Saudi Arabia. The color runs from very dark brown to jet black, the shape is an elongated oval with fine wrinkles on the skin, and the flesh is thick and chewy. The first bite delivers a rich, dark-caramel sweetness that finishes with a signature earthy note — longer in shape than Ajwa, moister than ordinary dried dates, and never sticky in your hand. This character is why Safawi commands the most loyal repeat buyers among black dates. In India and across South Asia, the same fruit is sold as Kalmi dates — so if that is the name you know, this is the date you are looking for.

Product Specifications

From Madinah's Farms to Our Cakung Warehouse

Madinah is not just a label on the pack. The province is home to around 4.75 million date palms, and its farms produced roughly 5,577 tonnes of Safawi dates in 2023 — placing Safawi among the city's top varieties alongside Ajwa and Sukkari. Together with Ajwa, Safawi also leads sales at the Madinah Central Date Market, where Indonesian pilgrims traditionally shop. As a direct importer with 40+ years of sourcing heritage, we cut out the middlemen: the dates arrive at our warehouse in Cakung, East Jakarta, and travel to your table in peak condition.

Perfect for Iftar and Afternoon Tea

Many customers start with this pack for breaking the fast: three Safawi dates with a glass of water or unsweetened tea restore energy after a full day of fasting, without the cloying sweetness of cheaper dates. Outside Ramadan, 500g comfortably covers two to three weeks of family snacking — enough to discover why this variety turns first-time buyers into regulars.

Serving Tips from Our Own Kitchen

Safawi is at its best at room temperature — if refrigerated, take the dates out ten minutes before serving so the texture returns to its perfect chew. Pair them with warm unsweetened tea or black coffee: the drink's gentle bitterness lifts the date's dark caramel. For a quick breakfast, split a few dates and stuff them with almonds or cashews for an energy-dense bite. Children usually love them chopped over oatmeal or buttered toast — a far more nutritious substitute for chocolate spread.
