Qassim's signature date
Sukkari's home is Qassim, where it makes up about 65% of the palms. Saudi Press Agency
Named “sugary”, for a reason
The Qassim date everyone knows: honey and caramel, in whatever form suits you.
Sukkari means “sugary”, and it tastes of honey and caramel. Here it comes pitted and wrapped one by one (for your bag, your desk, your travels), pressed in its bag as makniz, and fresh as rutab with a thin skin and soft flesh that belongs in the fridge.

From the Sunnah
Allah says:
“And shake toward you the trunk of the palm tree; it will drop upon you ripe, fresh dates.”
وَهُزِّىٓ إِلَيْكِ بِجِذْعِ ٱلنَّخْلَةِ تُسَـٰقِطْ عَلَيْكِ رُطَبًا جَنِيًّا
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Ja'far:
“I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) eating fresh dates with snake cucumbers.”
رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَأْكُلُ الرُّطَبَ بِالْقِثَّاءِ
