– Saudi Arabia is home to over 400 varieties of dates, with some of the most popular being Ajwa, known for its chewy texture and subtle sweetness, and Medjool, famous for its large size and rich flavor.
From the heart of the Arabian Peninsula, these dates are carefully harvested, packed, and shipped across the world. Many make their way to Mumbai, where they are sold in markets, bringing a taste of the Middle East to the bustling streets of the city
Mumbai’s diverse food culture embraces these imported dates for their quality and flavor, making them a popular treat during festivals, in traditional sweets, or simply as a daily snack."
