Libyan Ruthob Dates: Classic Ruthob Straight from the Oasis
Libyan ruthob dates are our flagship product and the most popular entry point for anyone seeking fresh, wet dates in Greater Jakarta. Taken from the Deglet Nour variety harvested at the ruthob stage (before it dries into tamr), these dates have an amber-brown colour, a soft finely-fibred texture, and a signature honey-like sweetness. Libya is an export-grade Deglet Nour producer alongside Algeria and Tunisia, and we select only the top quality tier for the Indonesian market.
Why Ruthob, Not Dried Dates?
Ruthob is the fourth ripening stage of dates: hababouk → kimri → khalal → ruthob → tamr. At this stage moisture is still high, so the date tastes fresh, moist, and lighter than a dried date. That is why ruthob for breaking the fast is so recommended — in line with the sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him) who favoured ruthab when breaking the fast.

FAQ
What is the difference between Libyan ruthob and ordinary dried dates?
Ruthob is the ripening stage before a date becomes dried (tamr). Its moisture is still high, so the texture is soft, moist, and fresh-tasting, unlike dried dates which are denser and shelf-stable at room temperature.
Is a 1kg Libyan ruthob pack available?
Yes. We offer 250g, 500g, and 1kg retail packs, plus 5kg and 10kg wholesale cartons for resellers, caterers, mosques, and boarding schools.
How should I store it to keep it fresh?
Keep it in the chiller for 1–2 weeks, or freeze it for several months. Thaw at room temperature or soak briefly in warm water before eating.
Can you deliver outside Jakarta, such as Depok, Tangerang, Bekasi, and Bogor?
Yes. We serve all of Greater Jakarta with cold packaging to keep it fresh during transit. Contact our WhatsApp for shipping costs and time estimates.
