Saudi Arabia has introduced a new and exciting drink called Milaf Cola, the first soft drink in the world made from dates(Dates are sweet fruits that grow on date palm trees, which thrive in hot, dry regions like the Middle East and North Africa. They have been cultivated for thousands of years and are one of the oldest known fruits in human history). This special drink was launched during the Riyadh Date Festival, a celebration of Saudi Arabia’s favorite fruit. The event was attended by important figures, including Saudi Minister of Agriculture Abdulrahman Al-Fadley and Thurath Al-Madina Company CEO Bander Al-Qahtani.
Milaf Cola is a unique drink that combines the natural goodness of dates with the refreshing taste of soda. Dates are known to be very healthy because they are rich in nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Unlike regular soft drinks that can be high in sugar and unhealthy, Milaf Cola offers a healthier option for people who want something tasty and nutritious.
The drink was created by Thurath Al-Madina, a company supported by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. They used high-quality dates grown in Saudi Arabia to make Milaf Cola, supporting local farmers and businesses. The company followed strict international food safety and quality rules, ensuring that the drink is safe and meets high standards.
Milaf Cola is also good for the environment. The company used eco-friendly methods to produce the drink, which fits Saudi Arabia’s goal of making more sustainable and locally-made products. By creating Milaf Cola, they show how traditional foods like dates can be turned into modern and innovative products.
The Riyadh Date Festival was the perfect place to launch Milaf Cola because the festival celebrates the importance of dates in Saudi Arabia. Dates have been part of the country’s culture for centuries. Now, with Milaf Cola, they are being used in a new and exciting way that mixes tradition with modern ideas.
This drink could become popular not just in Saudi Arabia but around the world. Many people today want healthier and eco-friendly products, and Milaf Cola meets these needs. It also shows how dates can be used in creative ways to make something new and valuable.
Milaf Cola is more than just a drink—it’s a symbol of Saudi Arabia’s progress and creativity. By turning a traditional fruit into a modern product, the country is showing how it can honor its culture while leading in innovation. Milaf Cola is expected to inspire more ideas and products that combine health, tradition, and sustainability.
