Dates; the energy of Ramadan!
At the end of this month, Ramadan begins for Muslims. It is a period in which, among other things, faith, gratitude, and self-discipline are central. During Ramadan, many Muslims also fast, which means they do not eat or drink between sunrise and sunset. One of the important traditions during this fasting period is the use of dates.
Dates not only have a symbolic meaning during Ramadan but also offer practical benefits. They are a rich source of energy and nutrients, which are essential for the body’s recovery after a day of fasting. Breaking the fast with a date is often referred to as “iftar.”
Dates grow on the date palm and come in different varieties. Each variety has its own unique flavour, texture and origin. But which date should you choose? The choice of date may depend on personal preference or what you plan to use them for. Due to the sweet taste of these fruits, they are delicious to eat as a snack, but they can also be used as a natural sugar substitude in desserts, as a bite filled with cheese and nuts, or mixed into salads. Time to introduce our range of dates to you!
Tasty, versatile and a boost of energy!
