My company has been selling dates since year 1969. I didn't know how does the tree look like. Until today, I just made a quick study.
Date palm cultivation originated in the Middle East and, it spreads to North America, California, South Africa, and then some of the Australia regions. Middle East is still the major production place, which accounts for 90%. Date palm is one of the oldest tree in the world.
Date is always associate with religious occasions like Ramadan for Muslims (it's mentioned many place in Quran) and Christmas for Christian. But in Malaysia, it's very famous only during Ramadan, as we are Muslim country. Traditionally, dates and milk are the first meal when the sun sets during Ramadan.
It taste delicious, and sweet. It provides lot of energy. In desert, those people only eat dates with milk to get survive. It has its medicinal value as well, it can help in sore throat, colds, relief fever, diarrhea and more. Of course the nutrition value is even better.
1) It provides energy for metabolic activities in body because the fructose is ready to absorb in intestine.
2) It provide potassium 2.5 times more than bananas, it can protect our heart against blood hypertension. The iron content in dates can also keep you against anemia.
3) It's also function as "brain food", the phosphorus and calcium content in dates can promotes the growth of brain and nervous system cells especially at embryonic development stage, and for healthy bones and teeth to adults.
4) The magnesium content in dates is important in strengthening of muscles and enhances the efficiency of muscular contraction processes.
5) Dates sugars and minerals have combined a positive effect in the maintenance of the sexual activity in both gender. It also combined the effect in strengthening the uterus muscles in pregnant women and leads to easier to give birth.
and more more more benefits.
