Where can US businesses buy wholesale dates and Turkish dried fruit?

Which date variety should I buy: Medjool, Ajwa or Sukkari?

Natural Delights Whole Medjool Dates are whole, unpitted dates grown in California's Bard Valley. The 11 lb (5 kg) box suits grocers, bakeries and Ramadan displays. Choose this option when you need a bulk box rather than smaller packaged units, and account for pit removal if your intended preparation requires pitted fruit.

Ajwa Al-Madinah Dates are soft, dark dates from Madinah, Saudi Arabia. The Holy Land product comes in a 1 kg box and is packed by Qootof Altamr. It is an option for grocers and Ramadan assortments seeking Ajwa specifically rather than another date variety.

Kaif AlSheikh Sukkari Dates are sweet, golden dates from Saudi Arabia's Al-Qassim region. The 3 kg pack contains three 1 kg bags. When comparing this product with Ajwa, note both the variety and the total pack weight.

What should grocers, bakeries and snack buyers select?

For a grocery date assortment, consider Medjool, Ajwa and Sukkari as distinct choices rather than interchangeable products. Medjool provides a bulk-box option, while Ajwa comes in a 1 kg box and Sukkari in three 1 kg bags. Grocers planning Ramadan assortments can use these differences to organize their selection by variety, origin and pack.

For bakeries, the Medjool box and dried figs offer options for baking. Cafes and caterers can use the figs on cheese boards and in yogurt bowls. For convenience stores and snack assortments, the portion-packed figs and mulberries offer individually packed servings. Tadim apricots suit ethnic grocers, convenience stores and gift-basket packers.

Which Turkish dried figs, apricots and mulberries are available to order?

Sunny Fruit Organic Dried Smyrna Figs come from the Aegean region of Turkiye. They are sun-dried, lightly rehydrated and packed as five 50 g portions, totaling 250 g (8.8 oz). Ingredients are organic dried figs and water. The product is USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified, with no added sugar, sulfites or preservatives.

Tadim Dried Apricots come in a 140 g resealable bag. These sun-dried Turkish apricots contain sulfur dioxide as an antioxidant. They can be eaten as a snack, served with nuts and tea, or chopped into baking, compotes and jams. Keep the sulfured formulation in mind when selecting an assortment.

Sunny Fruit Organic Dried White Mulberries are grown and sun-dried in Izmir, Turkiye. Each bag contains five 30 g portions, totaling 150 g (5.3 oz). The only ingredient is organic dried mulberries. They have a light crunch and natural sweetness, with no added sugar, sulfites or preservatives.

What does US import data show about Turkish dried fruit?

US imports of Turkish figs reached $89 million in 2025, up 31% from 2024 (UN Comtrade, 2025). Turkish dried apricot imports reached $86 million, down 3% over the same comparison period (UN Comtrade, 2025). These figures provide market context when evaluating a Turkish dried-fruit assortment.

US imports in the Turkish other dried fruit category reached $29 million in 2025, up 72% from 2024 (UN Comtrade, 2025). This is a broader category covering mulberries, sour cherries and other dried fruit, not a mulberry-only import figure.

What pack sizes and product details should I check before buying?

Compare the quoted pack, not just its starting price. The date options range from a 1 kg Ajwa box to a 3 kg Sukkari pack and an 11 lb Medjool box. The dried-fruit options are smaller retail formats: 250 g figs, 140 g apricots and 150 g mulberries. The figs and mulberries each contain five portion packs, but their individual serving weights differ.

Check ingredients and handling needs against your intended use. Medjool dates are unpitted. The figs contain added water for light rehydration, while the mulberries list only organic dried mulberries. Tadim apricots contain sulfur dioxide and may contain traces of the listed nuts and wheat gluten. If organic certification matters to your assortment, the two Sunny Fruit products list USDA Organic certification.
