What affects the price of Ajwa dates?
1. Origin
Real Ajwa is grown in and around Madinah, Saudi Arabia, and supply is limited. Dates labelled “Ajwa-type” or with no clear origin are often cheaper because they are a different variety.
2. Size and grade
Ajwa is sorted by size. Larger, evenly sized “jumbo” or “VIP” grades cost more than small or mixed sizes.
3. Harvest year and storage
Dates from the latest harvest that have been kept cold stay softer. Tamooriya keeps Ajwa cold-stored below 5°C until your order is packed. Older stock stored warm can be dry and is usually sold cheaper.
4. Fresh (Rutab) vs dried
Rutab Ajwa is the fresh, very soft stage of the fruit, available for a short season and usually priced higher.
5. Packaging
Gift boxes and hampers cost more than plain packs because of the box itself. For everyday eating, a 1 kg or 5 kg pack is the best value.
How to tell if Ajwa dates are original
- The label states Madinah as the origin
- Dates are dark brown to almost black, with fine wrinkles and a matte (not oily or glossy) skin
- The texture is soft and slightly chewy, with a mild, not sugary, sweetness
- The seller can tell you the harvest year
