What are dates?

There are several kinds of dates, ranging from cylindrical to finger-shaped and varying in sweetness, color, and texture. Dates are generally around 50% sugar and contain fiber, as well as some protein, vitamins, and minerals. Palms begin to bear fruit at around four to five years and are at their most fruitful at around 10 to 15 years of age, producing up to 175 lbs of dates each per year.

Dates back

The date palm probably originated in the Persian Gulf and was a particularly important food source for the ancient African and Middle Eastern civilizations. Nomads used to carry dates on their travels through the deserts and planted the pits at oases they passed. It was also the main fruit-based sweetener before refined sugar was developed.

The ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilizations treasured it too. Cakes and pastries were made using date flour, pastes, and syrups. In Greek and Roman theaters, dates wrapped in gold leaf were sold as snacks. The tree was also an important source of wood, fiber, and sap, and the palm has inspired a great deal of symbolism in many cultures and religions.
