Organic Wanan Super Fresh Dates

Wanan Super Fresh from organic cultivation

Like the Fankha date, the Wanan also comes from the oases of the Tuwaiq Mountains, where the mineral-rich water turns the otherwise dry desert soil into exceptionally fertile land.

Wanan is a very mild, pleasant date with a low proportion of fruit acid. It therefore has a particularly delicate taste and a subtle hint of cinnamon. We stock wanan in our range both as a fresh product and in the Super Fresh class, whereby its aroma is even more intense in this particularly fresh variety.

Wanan is often compared with the Medjool date. Although the Wanan date has an exceptionally dark color in contrast to the light-reddish Medjool, the two varieties are similar in terms of their flesh, which is particularly lush, rich and soft in both the Medjool and the Wanan. Such a comparison with the king date raises high expectations among date connoisseurs, but they are by no means disappointed. With its fine, pleasant aroma, wanan is definitely one of our favorite varieties.

Apart from that, the Wanan, like the Mactoumi and the Fankha, is an old, original variety that is hardly represented on the European market. It is very important to us to highlight these forgotten varieties and support the greatest possible variety of dates.

While the fresh variety is also ideal for stuffing with nuts or candied fruit, the Wanan super fresh is so delicious, soft and juicy that it is best eaten on its own.

Country of origin: Saudi-Arabien

Unsere Partner-Farm in Saudi-Arabien liegt in der malerischen Region Al Ghat, etwa 200 Kilometer nordwestlich von der pulsierenden Hauptstadt Riyadh. Al Ghat bietet mit heißen Sommern und milden Wintern ideale Bedingungen für den Dattelanbau.

Die Farm ist ein Vorreiter der biologischen Landwirtschaft in Saudi-Arabien und wurde als eine der ersten Farmen im Land mit dem EU-Bio-Zertifikat ausgezeichnet. Unser saudischer Dattel-Bauer legt großen Wert auf den Schutz der Umwelt und die Erhaltung der natürlichen Ressourcen und hat sich mit Aufbau der Farm dazu entschlossen, auf den Einsatz von chemischen Düngemitteln und Pestiziden zu verzichten.

Auf der Farm wird eine große Vielfalt an unterschiedlichen Dattelsorten angebaut. Momentan beziehen wir 9 unserer Dattelsorten von unserer saudischen Partner-Farm.
