Bateel's organic Ajwa dates are mildly sweet with a raisin-like texture. A gift of Ajwa is a rare treat for date connoisseurs. Known as the 'Holy Date', Ajwa dates have long held a special place within Arabic tradition. Ajwa dates have been consumed in Arabia for more than 8000 years, given their irresistible flavour and superb nutrient content. (Disclaimer - All of the products are handcrafted in one kitchen, therefore a purely gluten-free environment cannot be guaranteed, however, cross-contamination is avoided.)
