2. Short Description

Anbara is Madinah's most prized and prestigious date variety after Ajwa — and in terms of size, it is the most impressive date grown in the blessed city. Deep black, oval, and extraordinarily soft, Anbara commands premium positioning in any market. A true statement date for discerning importers and luxury gift buyers.

3. Long Description

If Ajwa is Madinah's most celebrated date, Anbara is its most impressive. Grown only in the Madinah region of Saudi Arabia, Anbara dates are distinguished by their exceptional size, deep black skin, and extraordinarily soft, high-moisture flesh. Among Madinah's date varieties, Anbara commands the highest price point — and for buyers sourcing luxury date products, it commands significant attention.

Size & Grading

Anbara's defining characteristic is its size. Our Premium Jumbo grade averages 14g per date at ≥3.2 cm, with approximately 87 per kilogram. Premium Large averages 10g at <3.2 cm with approximately 110 per kilogram. These are substantial dates that make an immediate impression in gift boxes and premium retail formats.

Appearance

Oval-shaped with uniformly black skin at premium grades, Anbara dates carry a slightly wrinkled surface that reflects their high moisture content (10–15%). The dark, dramatic presentation is similar to Ajwa and Safawi but on a grander scale. Black dates from Madinah hold deep cultural significance in the Muslim world, and Anbara benefits from this heritage.

Texture & Flavour

Anbara dates are soft and high-moisture — yielding flesh with a mild, pleasant sweetness and a clean, refined flavour. They lack the complexity of Ajwa's distinctive profile but deliver an exceptionally luxurious eating experience through sheer size and softness. Storage at 4°C maintains optimal texture.

Market Positioning

Anbara dates are priced at the top end of the Saudi date market — above Safawi and Khudri, at or near Ajwa levels depending on grade. They are best positioned as a luxury product, in premium gift boxes, at high-end retail, or as a distinctive element in premium date selections for hotels and restaurants.
