Sukari Dates from Al Qassim — The Number-One Bestseller in Indonesia's Date Market
Sukari dates are the highest-volume date variety sold in Indonesia, and that is no accident. This golden date from the Al Qassim region of Saudi Arabia is nicknamed by many traders the 'queen of dates' for its soft, melt-in-the-mouth texture and clean caramel sweetness — a flavor profile instantly familiar to Indonesian families. At Lumbung Kurma Indonesia, Grade A Sukari is our most re-ordered product, from household customers in Jakarta and Bekasi to mosque committees on the outer islands.

For reference, Tempo's market coverage put Sukari at around IDR 90,000 per kilogram, and ahead of Ramadan 2026 prices rose by roughly IDR 20,000 per kilogram on surging demand (CNBC Indonesia). That is why we always publish honest price ranges and recommend stocking up before the month of Sha'ban.
Why Sukari Works for Iftar and Daily Snacking
Dates are a natural energy source: USDA data records roughly 277–282 kcal, 7–8g of fiber, and ±696mg of potassium per 100 grams. Remarkably, despite their sweetness, the measured glycemic index of dates sits around 42–55 — a low-to-moderate category — making them relatively friendlier than table sugar. If you are watching your sugar intake, keep portions moderate (typically 3–5 dates) and consult a health professional. This information is educational, not medical advice.
Pack Options from Our Granary
- Sukari dates 500g — a first taste or a light gift
- Sukari dates 1kg — a month's family supply
- 10kg carton (by the kilo) — mosques, iftar committees, caterers, and resellers; the lowest per-kilogram price
Serving Ideas: From the Iftar Table to the Creative Kitchen
Sukari tastes best eaten as-is, but do not stop there. In our customers' homes, Sukari turns into many dishes:
- A companion to black coffee or plain tea — its natural sweetness replaces sugar
- Split and stuffed with cheese, cashews, or peanut butter as a kids' snack
- Blended with cold milk into a filling date smoothie for suhoor
- Chopped as a topping for oatmeal, porridge, and family iced desserts
This flexibility is one reason Sukari endures as the bestseller of the Indonesian date market: one pack gets finished without boredom. The other reasons are simple — the price is sensible for premium quality, stock stays steady year-round in our granary, and the flavor profile suits every family member, from toddlers meeting their first date to grandparents who make it their post-dawn staple. Many customers start with a 500g pack to try, then return monthly for 1kg orders or a full carton.
How to Store Sukari Dates
Keep in a cool, dry place at room temperature for 1–2 months of consumption. For up to 6 months, use an airtight container in the chiller; for a year-long stock, freeze in small portions — the caramel texture holds after slow thawing.
