Saudi Arabia Takes on Traditional Sodas With World’s First Date-Based Soft Drink

Milaf Cola, hailed as the world’s first soft drink crafted from dates, has officially been launched at the Riyadh Date Festival.

Developed by Thurath Al-Madina, a subsidiary of the Public Investment Fund, this innovative beverage merges health benefits with refreshments, representing a significant stride toward healthier and more sustainable drink options in the global beverage industry.

The drink’s primary ingredient is premium-quality dates, celebrated for their natural sugars, fiber, and essential minerals, offering a nutritious alternative to conventional sodas often laden with excessive sugar and devoid of nutritional value.

Produced using locally sourced dates and adhering to international food safety standards, Milaf Cola underscores eco-friendly practices and sustainability.

The launch of Milaf Cola aligns with Saudi Arabia’s broader vision of economic diversification and the promotion of locally made products. Festival attendees have praised the drink’s natural sweetness and refreshing taste, further enhancing its appeal.

This milestone not only highlights the potential of date-based products in the beverage market but also reflects Saudi Arabia’s commitment to innovation and health-focused consumer options.
