There were so many varieties and so many choices.i wanted to buy a variety pack for taste as I was very confused but they didn't look appetizing. Finally I picked up Premium Saudi Khedri dates.I loved them.Uniform size, brown color and perfect sweetness. I hate sugary dates. Exactly what I was looking for. I was also attracted by Sagai dates due to their unique color so I will buy them next time.

Kind of a 7th century version of "an apple a day will keep the doctor away" :)<br /><br />but they were also the tastiest dates though so I still think that's why they're more expensive (just kidding, one of my Qatari friends also confirmed that they're generally more expensive because they are mentioned in Hadiths)Glen McKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120296462964981195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33947698.post-78758271289770192422011-07-29T14:17:37.937-07:002011-07-29T14:17:37.937-07:00Ajwat AlMadina is more expensive because it's ...Ajwat AlMadina is more expensive because it's considered "sunnah" to consume them, there's a Hadith that specifically says that they protect from evil and I think the company is trying to capitalize on that fact - lol.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
