Plants that grow in the tropics and have rich, tasty fruits are called dates. In Muslim countries, since ancient times, dates are considered sacred food, while these fruits are a very tasty and healthy delicacy, as well as very useful.
Dates can improve the health of adults and children. In Arab countries, dates are called "bread of the desert" because they contain a large amount of nutrients that are so necessary for humans.
