🥇 Types of Sukkari Dates: Know Before You Buy

Sukkari dates come in several forms. Understanding the difference helps you pick what suits your taste:

Type Texture Use
Sukkari Rutab Juicy & soft Eat fresh
Sukkari Tamr Semi-dried & chewy Long shelf life

💡 Pro Tip: Rutab is ideal for instant snacking, while Tamr is best for storage or gifting.
