Degelet Nour Tunisian Dates Kurma Degelet (400g*12) 1 Carton, Taman Johor Jaya

Deglet Nour (دقلة نور) literally means “Date of Light” in Arabic. They’re famous for their semi-translucent flesh—you can sometimes see the pit through the skin when held up to light.

Tunisia is the world’s top exporter of Deglet Nour dates, even though Algeria is their historical origin.
