Mainly grown in the Madinah region of Saudi Arabia, Safawi dates are a special kind of dates. They are soft, semi-dried and characteristically identified by their particular deep black color, their length and medium size. Besides, they share the same taste as the Ajwa dates, considering the sugar contained in them makes them a good source of energy that is easy for the body to digest. In addition, these dates contain a good amount of dietary fiber both soluble and insoluble, along with at least 15 types of minerals.
