Anbara organic dates: dark red seduction from the desert
Anbara, or Anbra, are one of the most expensive and rarest varieties of all. The golden brown to dark red shimmering fruits have a relatively firm, dry flesh, which is characterized by a mild-sweet taste. Similar to Ajwa, Anbara organic dates are cultivated as one of the oldest varieties ever in Saudi Arabia near Medina, a city that is the second most important holy place in Islam after Mecca. Not only because of this prominent origin, but also because of their larger-than-average fruit, Anbara dates are highly sought after even beyond the Arab region.
Semi-dried Anbara as a snack and ideal travel companion
Anbara dates are harvested late in the ripening phase, when they have reached an advanced degree of dryness. In this state, they have lost more than half their weight compared to the fresh fruit, but have gained significantly in shelf life. Characteristics that suited the nomadic lifestyle of the Bedouins very well. These include the fact that the full sweetness of the dried fruit only fully develops during prolonged chewing, originally a welcome change on long journeys through the desert. However, prolonged chewing is also good for us, but alternatively, as is customary in Saudi Arabia, the date can also be pitted and sliced and served with tea or even soaked in milk or water. In principle, not unlike the way dried fruit was used in this country. Also interesting is the traditional storage of dried dates: up to five years in clay pots buried in the sand. However, this delicious snack will certainly not remain in our cupboard for that long.
Dates with coffee, in cakes or next to tea
Pure as a small snack with a pot of tea, a handful of shimmering Anbara are the minimalist, natural luxury in our menu. So to speak, the alternative coffee-and-cake version of all vegans, raw foodists and nutrition- and figure-conscious, but of course not only! The natural fructose content in dried dates is probably the secret that makes these fruits the perfect chocolate substitute. Let's declare war on our afternoon lows and rainy, gray days!
