Mabroom Dates

Mabroom dates (also spelled Mabroum) are long, slender dates from Madinah, reddish-brown in colour, with a texture all of their own: firm on the outside and soft on the inside. Because they are not sticky, they are one of the easiest dates to eat anywhere. At AlSultanFood you can buy Premium Mabroom Dates from Madinah in 150g, 250g, 500g and 1kg packs, straight from our online shop with delivery across Malaysia.

Mabroom dates from Madinah

Mabroom comes from Madinah, Saudi Arabia. In Malaysia it is less famous than Ajwa or Safawi, but people who try it often come back for more because the texture is so different from other dates. Many umrah and haj pilgrims first meet it at the date markets of Madinah and look for it again once they are home.

Taste and texture

• Shape: long and slender, more elongated than most dates.
• Colour: reddish-brown, sometimes darker towards the tip.
• Texture: the skin is fairly dry and slightly chewy, the flesh inside is soft.
• Taste: a gentle natural sweetness that is never too strong.
• Best part: not sticky in the hand, so it is tidy to eat and share.

That mix of a firm outside and a soft inside gives every bite a satisfying chew without being hard. It is a great pick if you find very soft, sugary dates too much.

Mabroom compared with other dates

• Safawi dates: also from Madinah, but darker, softer and denser. Choose Safawi for a soft date; choose Mabroom for one that is not sticky.
• Sukkari dates: from Al-Qassim, known for their sweetness. Sukkari Mufattal is drier and crunchier, Sukkari Rotab is soft.
• Ajwa dates: dark, soft Madinah dates, best known because they are narrated in hadith.
• Mariami dates: from Iran, soft and chewy with a mild sweetness, in three grades.

Planning your Ramadan dates

Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin around 8 February 2027. Many families like to keep two or three kinds of dates on the iftar table, for example non-sticky Mabroom, soft Safawi and sweet Sukkari. Choose 1kg of the one you eat most and smaller packs of the ones you want to try, then put them in one order to get free delivery from RM150.

How to store Mabroom dates

Keep them in a cool, dry, closed place away from sunlight. Once opened, reseal the pack tightly or move the dates to an airtight container. In Malaysia's hot, humid weather the fridge helps keep their taste and texture for longer. Take them out a few minutes before eating so the flesh softens again.

Serving ideas

• An everyday office snack with coffee or tea.
• For iftar and sahur.
• Split and stuff with almonds, cashews or cream cheese for guests.
• Chop and scatter over oats, yoghurt or salad.
• Arrange on an open-house tray with nuts and dried fruit.

General goodness

Mabroom dates are a source of fibre and natural energy. They are a lovely way to break the fast, a sunnah many people follow, and a better everyday treat than sweets. Enjoy them as part of a balanced diet.
