Sukkari Dates (wholesale)

What Are Sukkari Dates?

Sukkari (also spelled Sukkary or Sokari) is a soft, moist date variety originally cultivated in Saudi Arabia, particularly in the Qassim region. The name “Sukkari” comes from the Arabic word “Sukkar,” meaning sugar—an appropriate name for a date that is renowned for its honey-like sweetness and rich flavor.Unlike dried dates, Sukkari dates are typically consumed fresh or semi-dried, giving them a juicy, melt-in-the-mouth texture. Their color ranges from golden brown to caramel yellow, and they feature a wrinkled but shiny skin. These dates are not just delicious , they also represent a powerhouse of nutrients. Saudi Arabia is top supplier of Sukkari Dates Wholesale.
