ABOUT Egyptian Dates
The palm tree has been described as ‘the tree of life’ because it grows in the desert. Besides that, dates are wholesome fruits in terms of nutrition. They are sources of critical nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin K, iron, potassium, and calcium.
Egypt is one of the biggest producers of Egypt Dates; the country produces 1.5 million tons yearly, capturing 18% of the global dates production.
Egyptian dates are grown in temperatures above 16°c and their trees grow reasonably well in alkali and salty soil and water. They have minimal production requirements. Regardless, the fertile land, pleasant climate, adequate irrigation water, and a wide variety of soils favor their cultivation.
Dates in Egypt develop in over four phases before they are ripe;
- Chimri: the first 17 weeks after pollination when the fruits are green and mostly moisture
- Khalal: the following six weeks when the fruits reach their full size and change their color to yellow, orange or red
- Rutab: the next four weeks whereby the fruits get semi-soft
- Tamar: the last two weeks when the dates are darker in color, softer and sweeter. Dry varieties get harvested at this phase.
