Origin of the date
The date is a stone fruit of the date palm (Phoenix dactylifera), which can be eaten fresh or dried. Stone fruits are fruits with a hard, stony core or kernel. The date is a cylindrical fruit, 5 to 7 centimetres long. The colour varies from bright red to bright yellow.
Dates grow in large bunches on these trees and they are harvested in November and December. Around 30 dates can grow on these bunches and between 20 and 150 kilos of dates can be harvested per tree.
Cultivation began in the Middle East some 3,000 years ago. Date palms like a dry climate with moist soil. There are as many as 400 varieties of dates. These dried date pieces from Pakistan are available all year round. Dried dates are rich in vitamins A and B, iron, magnesium and phosphorus.
Use
Date pieces can be eaten as a snack and in the kitchen, dates combine well with nuts and cream cheese. Also, these pieces can be processed in desserts and with various meat and fish dishes.
