I enjoyed the dates that brought by co-teacher

Yesterday my co-teacher where I taught brought some date seeds and I tasted them too. If you remember dates, you must remember a holy month for Muslims, namely the month of Ramadan. Because every time the month of Ramadan comes, we can find date traders everywhere. And when it's not the month of Ramadan and those who sell dates are few and only in special places such as special pharmacies selling various kinds of herbal medicines, sellers of equipment for Hajj, prayer, etc.

Date fruit or known by the scientific name Phoenix dactylifera L is a type of palm plant whose fruit has a very sweet taste so that it can be consumed by many people and is safe.

Various preparations of dates

Sukari dates are so delicious

Dates that we usually know are consumed as healthy snacks because the benefits of dates are very well known.

Did you know that dates can be processed into other forms of food? Apart from making dates as snacks, dates can also be processed into healthy drinks made from dates, fried dates or as a complement to other foods.

Below are 2 processed dates that I have made, I hope this can add culinary inspiration to you :

1. Healthy drinks date milk

Ingredients for making date milk :

  • Dates 5 grains

  • Honey one tablespoon

  • Liquid milk

  • Warm water

How to make :

First, remove the seeds of the dates, then soak the dates without seeds in warm water for 15-30 minutes until the dates are soft, then drain.

Next, the dates in the blender with some liquid milk until smooth.

Add the remaining milk and honey, blend again until well blended.

Strain the milk if you don't like the milk to run dry. Serve. Dates milk is ready to drink.

2. Fried dates with flour

How do fried dates taste? I've made them before and they're delicious and tasty. the crunch of the flour and the sweet taste blend with the crunch of the fried dates.

Ingredients for making fried dates :

  • Seedless dates

  • Flour

  • Rice flour

  • Egg

How to make :

The dates are flattened until they are a little thin but what I have made never flatten them.

Next, the dates are dipped into the flour and rice mixture that has been lightly beaten with eggs.

Then fry until the flour is slightly reddish and ready to serve.

You can sprinkle cheese on top or you can also coat it with flour mixture and fry it with cheese.

These are 2 processed snacks made from dates. And many other preparations made from dates.

Benefits of dates

Some type of dates

Dates have many types and of course they have different properties too. There are about 10 types of dates. In Indonesia there are several dates that are often consumed, including :

1. Palm fruit dates

Actually, these palm fruit dates are also of the same type as honey Tunisian dates. It's just that the texture of these dates is much drier. Usually also offered still with the stem. These dates are much larger in size and thicker flesh.

Benefits of Tunisian Dates Palm Fruit stalks Contains 5 times more Potassium than bananas Withstands bad cholesterol due to its sodium content High Nutritious Fruit Restores a Weak Body Expedites the Process of Birth and childbirth Instant energy booster The best Sugar Substitute.

2. Safavid dates

Safavid dates are one of the best types of dates which are second only to Ajwa dates. This Middle Eastern date has an oval shape with a dark to black color and wrinkled skin.

The health benefits of safawi dates include high mineral content and a variety of vitamins. Even these dates can be used as a natural remedy for intestinal worms. The fiber content is also high, and it has high levels of vitamins A and B so it is good for the eyes, hair and skin.

3. Ajwa Dates

Ajwa dates are called the first dates cultivated by the Prophet Muhammad SAW. This is what then makes ajwa dates also known as prophet dates. After being planted by the Prophet Muhammad SAW, the Ajwa date began to be cultivated in almost all of Arabia.

4. Dates sukari

Sukari date that I ate yesterday in the school

The sukari date is a type of premium date that is widely cultivated in Iraq and Saudi Arabia. The word sukari itself comes from the Arabic "sukkar" which means sugar. This date is more yellow than the other variants and has a sweeter taste. Sukari dates are classified as laxative foods, which can overcome the problem of constipation or difficulty defecating. This is because the sukari dates are high in natural fiber, which can nourish the intestines and the digestive system as a whole. It was this type of dates that I ate yesterday.

5. Young dates

This type of date is also much sought after, especially married couples who do not have children because young dates are believed to increase fertility. Young yellow dates are rich in iron, fiber and antioxidants which are beneficial for fertility. Young dates are widely used as an alternative medicine in pregnant programs. Not only beneficial for female fertility, young dates can also improve sperm quality in men.

Young dates themselves are fresh dates that are not yet ripe, so they are not as sweet as ripe dates and are blackish brown in color.

I loved your article my friend, I had never imagined those preparations with dates, normally in my country they are eaten without preparing them, just the date as they are sold in commercial places.

In these dates of December what is usually sold a lot in my country are olives, capers, raisins, walnuts, grapes, etc.. For our Christmas preparations, all those things are sold very little in the year, in December all the places are full of those ingredients for Christmas preparations. Many people start buying some ingredients since October to have some things ready and bought in December.

Have a great day my friend

I think that almost several countries provide fresh dates, especially Middle Eastern countries such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar because of the origin of rice dates and they are marketed almost all over the world, especially in Muslim majority countries. In fact, I've seen news that one of the singers from South Korea, Siwon, has a business selling dates
