The date for people who find dates too sweet
Where Medjool arrives like syrup, Ajwa is subtle. Plenty of households keep it specifically because someone in the family finds other dates overwhelming — this is the one they will actually eat.
Why it costs more, and why the pack is small
Ajwa comes from a limited area around Madinah and the harvest is modest against how much people want — particularly through Ramadan, when demand rises everywhere at once. Limited supply meeting concentrated demand is the whole pricing story.
Because of that price we sell it in 250g rather than by the kilo — the quantity that suits a gift or a household through the month, instead of a large pack that sits and dries out.

Questions
What makes Ajwa distinctive?
A small, near-black date with a soft, fine texture and restrained sweetness — far less sugary than Medjool, which is why people who find other dates cloying often prefer it.
Why is it more expensive?
Ajwa grows in a limited region around Madinah, the harvest is small relative to demand, and demand rises sharply through Ramadan.
Why only a 250g pack?
Because of the price. Most buyers want a quantity that suits gifting or a household through Ramadan rather than a bulk pack.
How should I store them?
Refrigerated and sealed. Ajwa is softer than Kalmi and dries out in open air. Take them out a little before serving.
