Arabic & Levantine Pantry Guide
Order in time for Ramadan: planning your pantry ahead
Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin around 8 February, depending on the sighting of the moon. Ordering dates, pulses, rice and Ramadan drinks about two weeks before the month starts helps you have your cupboard stocked before the first iftar.
Split your shopping into iftar staples and Eid baking
In the final days before Ramadan, demand rises sharply for heavy pantry goods such as large boxes of Medjool and Sukkari dates, bags of rice, red lentils, ghee, tinned ful medames and bottles of jallab or qamar al-din. Splitting your order into two stages keeps things simple: place your main pantry order two weeks before Ramadan begins, then place a smaller second order mid-month for Eid al-Fitr treats such as maamoul, semolina, mahlab and blossom waters.
