Sukari Dates Al-Qassim Grade A 500g / 1kg / 3kg

Grade A Sukari Dates from Al-Qassim — Suhoor Energy & Soft Texture

Sukari dates from the Al-Qassim region of Saudi Arabia are nicknamed the queen of dates for their soft texture and signature caramel sweetness. At Kurma Afiat, Sukari is our top pick for two needs: fast energy at suhoor and iftar, and nauseous pregnant mothers who need a soft, easy-to-accept snack.

Why Sukari Suits Suhoor & Iftar

At iftar, the body needs quickly absorbed glucose to restore energy. Dates supply an ideal mix of natural glucose and fructose, and breaking the fast with dates is a long-standing sunnah. Sukari's soft texture makes 1–3 dates with water comfortable. For suhoor, dates help provide gradual energy thanks to their fiber.

For Nauseous Pregnant Mothers

Many pregnant women struggle with heavy food in the first trimester. Sukari's soft texture and clean sweetness are often easier to tolerate. In the third trimester, dates even feature in the 6-dates/day protocol near labor that we cover fully in our pregnancy article. Note: this page is educational and not a substitute for medical advice. For specific health conditions, please consult a doctor or dietitian.

Nutrition Note

Like dates generally, Sukari provides natural energy, fiber, potassium, and magnesium. The glycemic index of dates is generally low-to-medium (46.3–55.1 in healthy people per Alkaabi 2011), but because they taste very sweet, portions still matter, especially for those monitoring blood sugar.

Sukari's Flavor & Texture in Depth

What makes Sukari so loved is the balance of flavor and texture. The outside feels slightly crisp, while the flesh is soft and melting with a sweetness like caramel or palm sugar. There is no bitter or harsh aftertaste, so they suit almost every palate, from children to the elderly. Their color is bright golden, unlike dark varieties such as Ajwa.

Sukari for Children & School Snacks

Sukari's natural sweetness makes them a healthy alternative to candy and high-added-sugar snacks. For school lunchboxes, a few Sukari give energy that supports a child's concentration. Mind the age-appropriate portion (school-age children need only 2–3) and encourage drinking water and brushing teeth to protect children's dental health.

How to Store Sukari Dates

Because Sukari have moderate moisture with a soft texture, store them in an airtight container. For daily use, a cool room temperature is fine for several weeks. For longer storage, refrigerate so their softness and caramel flavor last longer, and take out only what you need before serving.

Serving Ideas for the Family

Sukari's soft texture makes them versatile. At iftar, serve 1–3 with warm water before the main meal so the stomach eases in. For children, Sukari can replace candy; cut small and pair with water. You can also fold them into warm oatmeal or smoothies as a natural sweetener with no added sugar.

Why Texture Matters in Pregnancy Nausea

In the first trimester, many pregnant women reject strong-smelling foods. Soft, cleanly sweet Sukari without a sharp aroma are often easier to accept in small portions, helping maintain energy when appetite dips. Always adjust to your tolerance and your midwife's advice.
