Ajwa Mix AA or VIP? Choosing a 1kg Ajwa Pack for the Family

Ajwa Mix dates are the best-value way to enjoy Madinah Ajwa in quantity. Instead of a single size, this 1kg pack holds a mix of sizes — and there are two blends to choose from: Mix AA and Mix VIP.

This article explains the difference, who each blend suits, and how to store a 1kg pack so the last date is as good as the first.

What is Ajwa Mix?

Ajwa Mix is Madinah Ajwa packed with several sizes together. The taste and texture are exactly what you expect from Ajwa — dark, soft and naturally sweet — but the mixed sizing gives better value for everyday eating.

Mix AA vs Mix VIP

• Mix AA — roughly 80% medium, 10% large and 10% small.
• Mix VIP — roughly 80% jumbo, 10% large and 10% small.

In short, Mix VIP has many more big dates, while Mix AA is mostly medium. Both are high-quality Madinah Ajwa in a 1kg pack.

Which one is for you?

1. 1Choose Mix AA if you want Ajwa for the whole family to eat every day, and medium size is fine.
2. 2Choose Mix VIP if you prefer bigger, meatier dates or plan to serve guests.
3. 3Choose a single size from our Premium Ajwa Dates if you want uniform dates for gifts or event platters.

Ajwa all through Ramadan

A 1kg pack makes a good Ramadan stock. Breaking the fast with dates is a widely practised Sunnah, and with a big pack you will not run out halfway through the month.

• Put a few on the table every iftar.
• Serve with milk or oats at sahur.
• Refill the guest date jar.
• Take some to the mosque to share at moreh.

Storing a 1kg pack

A big pack needs a little care to stay fresh. Some easy tips:

1. 1Once opened, divide into a few smaller airtight containers.
2. 2Keep one in the kitchen for daily use and the rest in a cool, dry place.
3. 3In hot, humid weather, the fridge helps keep the texture.
4. 4Always check the expiry date on the pack.

Quick recipe ideas

• Ajwa smoothie — blend pitted Ajwa with banana, milk and a spoon of oats.
• Energy balls — blitz Ajwa with nuts and oats, then roll into small balls.
• Breakfast topping — chop over porridge or yogurt.

For energy balls, pair with almonds or walnuts from our nuts collection.

How much Ajwa do you need?

Planning your dates for Ramadan? A rough estimate helps. If everyone in the family eats a few at iftar and sahur, a 1kg pack can disappear faster than you think — especially if you also have guests.

• Couples or small families — one 1kg pack usually lasts a good while.
• Large families — consider two packs, or Mix AA for everyday plus Mix VIP for guests.
• Homes with frequent visitors — buy extra, since dates are the first thing offered.

If you also need small gifts during Ramadan, add a few Ajwa Mini Gift Boxes to your cart.
