is believed that the Date palm originated from around the Persian Gulf, South
Africa, or India, but researchers say that Iranians were the first nation to use the
date as a food and for medicine purposes. The date palm is probably the oldest
tree which has been cultivated in the world. Dates are divine fruit because they
are mentioned in the KORAN and Jews believe that the date is one of the seven
holy fruits in the world. |

| | Dates
go through 4 stages of development:
1. Chimri, or Kimri, stage- the
first 17 weeks after pollination: the dates are green, hard, bitter containing
80% moisture and 50% sugars (glucose and fructose) by dry weight.
2. Khalal stage- the next 6 weeks: the dates become full grown, still hard,
the color changes to yellow, orange or red, the sugars increase
and become
largely sucrose.
3. Rutab stage- the next 4 weeks: the date are half-ripe,
they soften,turn to light brown, and some sucrose reverts to reducing sugar which
continues increase.
4. Tamar stage- the last 2 weeks: the dates
become soft and their sugars are mostly reduced. |
