From the Basateen Al Wahat selection comes Saqai Fella in a 1 kg bag, loose-packed dates for a home that likes to keep a plate of dates ready in the majlis. Saqai is a well-known Saudi variety, recognised by its two-tone fruit and crisp texture.
What will you notice when you taste it?
The skin is thin, the flesh is crisp and then softens, and the sweetness is moderate rather than heavy. That makes it a very good companion to plain Arabic coffee. “Fella” simply means the dates come loose inside the bag.
Serving and storage
- Serve with coffee or tea straight from the bag.
- Slice a few over yogurt or porridge.
- Close the bag well and store in a dry place away from heat.
Is 1 kg the right size?
It suits a small family, someone meeting the variety for the first time, and anyone who prefers to buy an amount they will finish in about two weeks so the dates stay at their best. For bigger gatherings, order the 3 kg.
