Dates are the most popular food we ever discuss during Ramadan, and for good reason. Not only are they a sunnah food, but they’re the perfect food to eat when breaking the fast as they help our bodies rise in blood sugar levels in a safe and moderate way, which also helps us ease into eating other foods following them.
We’re fortunate to have recently learned about Royal Dates, a Canadian company bringing a variety of wonderful dates to the U.S. You can read more about them here.
In addition to the giveaway described below, you’re also able to purchase them in our newly launched MHK Market by My Halal Kitchen.
They have Ajwa dates, considered to be the “King of Dates” (500grams). Did you know that a new research suggests Ajwa dates prevent cancer? New research says it has found evidence that the Ajwa date from Madinah contains active elements useful in the prevention of diseases like cancer. The research was carried out in Riyadh-based King Saud University (KSU) to discover the health benefits of Ajwa dates, which resulted in the finding that the fruit has anti-inflammatory properties similar to commercially available drugs like ibuprofen and aspirin. Read more about that study here.
Ramadan Sale Price is $30 USD for Ajwa Dates (compare to $35.99 USD)
Sukkari dates are considered the “Queen of Dates” (500 grams), known for their dessert-like sweetness, Sukkari is the perfect alternative to sugary treats. Golden and soft, this melt-in-your-mouth goodness is a Royal Dates family favorite.
Ramadan sale price is $22 USD for Sukkari Dates (compare to $25 USD)
