Their golden-brown color is particularly distinctive, visually setting them apart from many other varieties. Thanks to their natural sweetness, Sukkari dates are excellent as a refined alternative to desserts or as an elegant treat to accompany coffee and tea. At the same time, they remain surprisingly light and don't leave an overly sweet aftertaste.
