Mufettel dates are a variety of Sukkari dates. These dates are exposed to intense sunlight while still on the palm tree, leading to dehydration in the dates. As a result, they exhibit some dryness. Mufettel dates are moderately firm, have a light yellow color, are round, and are rich in sweetness. They are in high demand in the Arab region, and their price is slightly higher compared to fresh Sukkari dates due to their limited availability.
Additionally, Mufettel dates contain a significant amount of vitamin A, which helps maintain eye health and is beneficial for optic nerves. They are also rich in potassium, which is essential in preventing cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, kidney stones, and cellulite formation, making them an important dietary choice for overall health.
