For those wondering, different species of dates can be grown in different parts of the world. It's not like, for example, medjool can only be grown in cali. Additionally, if you're gonna try it for the first time, make sure to split them in half with your fingers to check for bugs(usually about 1/25 has bugs). Finally, i think the best way to describe the flavor of a date is; a rich, mature thick honey, slightly simmered with a bit of molasses and smoked flavor, occasionally dabbled with a floral accent. However this can change depending on the date you chose, however i find that this description is best applicable when enjoying a medjool. :)

[@GlobalAdventurer]

They definitely are not native to California. They came from the middle east. Mexicans come up and pick those during harvest season during the month of August. And it's scorching hot 115 degrees probably more right on the border of Arizona, California and Mexico. I don't know how they do it. I've seen them at work. Mind blowing.

[@potatopewpew6102]

Not true, medjool or as we call it in Morocco Mejhoul, are actually originated in Morocco, exactly in Tafilalet oasis valleys. The Mejhoul date variety was introduced to the US in 1927 by an American farmer who had traveled across Morocco in search of the best date palm to import to California.

Kaarubah ( a little grape like date filled with honey like juice when it ripens, not much to chew but one could eat ton of them). 2. Aabdandan ( Aab meaning water and dandan meaning teeth, actually its very soft even if it's not ripe. Dissolves instantly in your mouth and super sweet) 3. Mozzati ( A near cousin of Muzafati from your video) 4. Sabzo ( consumed well before ripening because it's way more crunchy and Juicy when it halfway through and gets its green/bluish colour) 5. Redag ( when ripe, it's texture is a little bit hard like a refrigerated Mars chocolate and way less sweet from other dates of our town, my personal favourite. A bit rare too.) 6. Alina ( A round yellow and medium sweet date it ripens too late, well near winters so it's a fresh date when there is none other.) 7. Rabai ( creamy and sweet flavour) Others 8.begum Jungi 9. Sor 10. Shakar. 11. Dundairy 12. Zard .

Sukkari any day of the week! I keep the dates in the fridge until they are hard and cold. There's just this feeling that I get whenever I bite into a hard cold date. Having them for Iftar after a hot day is an experience that never gets old. The dates quickly quench the thirst and that sweetness is second to none. I don't find the other dates that sweet. I randomly crave something sweet and Sukkari is my go-to. It is healthy and you only need to eat 1 or 2. Amazing dates

[@sajinair3282]

When describing the flavor of a date, you can use words such as sweet, caramel-like, rich, and earthy. You may also describe the texture as chewy and soft, with a slight nuttiness. Additionally, you can mention any notes of honey, molasses, or vanilla that you taste. The flavor can vary depending on the type of date, so it's important to specify which variety you're describing.

The dates fresh in Saudia Arabia - particularly Ajwah dates hit so different. Ajwah is definitely my favourite there. We went to a date farm and had Ajwah fresh and it was insane how soft and melt-y they were in your mouth. Climate really does impact dates. Eating them in their heritage climates is truly important to get the full date experience.

there are two ways to eat the fresh dates. some like to eat it the way you did for us and others like myself prefer to eat it when it's a bit more riped meaning the fresh dates become softer almost like the feel of a very riped peach. not too riped cause if you leave the fresh dates to ripe for too long, it will spoil very quickly. fresh dates will take about three to seven days to ripen, depending on temperature and desired ripeness. i prefer to eat fresh dates after the medjool. i'll eat medjool for ramadan and fresh dates whenever. ajwa dates are mostly used for arabic sweets especially in the sweets called mammoul. you should try them! they're like soft cookies stuffed with dates inside of them.

I grew up in Saudi before moving to Toronto as a kid. I used to go back every year though to visit up until a few years ago. So I’d say I’ve had some of the best dates around Alhamdulillah. You got Ajwa absolutely right. It is incredibly rich and sweet Subhanallah. Dark honey/molasses is spot on. I will say this .. the quality over there in Saudi Is on a different level. You won’t find them to be as hard as you found this one. They’re quite soft and chewy with a bite. For me personally, good quality Sukkari is on another level. I can almost bet if you tried that, It would be your favourite. It’s hands down the most delicious. Subhanallah. I describe the taste as an intense caramel, with notes of honey and nuts. Beautiful. And the texture is perfect as well. It’s not hard but has just the right amount of bite. The sukkari we get here in the GTA, is just not on the same level unfortunately. I hope that helps :)

[@MusabUAE]

Chatgpt says: Date flavor is sweet, rich, and caramel-like with a hint of honey. The texture is chewy and slightly sticky. When fresh, dates have a more tender, slightly juicy texture, while dried dates are firmer and have a more concentrated sweetness. Some varieties may have a nutty undertone, while others may exhibit more complex flavors with hints of cinnamon or toffee.

Grass is one of the most common and abundant types of plants on Earth, and it plays a vital role in the ecosystem. It is a member of the Poaceae family, which includes many different species that vary in size, shape, and color. Some grasses grow to be several meters tall, while others are small and inconspicuous. They can be found in a wide range of habitats, from forests and meadows to deserts and wetlands. One of the most important functions of grass is that it serves as a primary source of food for many herbivorous animals, such as cattle, sheep, and deer. In fact, grass is so essential to many grazing animals that they have evolved specialized teeth and digestive systems to help them efficiently extract nutrients from this tough and fibrous plant. Grass also plays a crucial role in preventing soil erosion, especially in areas where there is little vegetation. The dense network of roots that grass develops helps to anchor the soil in place and prevents it from being washed away by rainfall or blown away by wind. Moreover, grass is effective at absorbing and storing water, which can help to prevent flooding and erosion during heavy rainfall. Another benefit of grass is that it contributes to the oxygen cycle by producing oxygen through photosynthesis. This is important for maintaining a healthy atmosphere, as oxygen is necessary for the survival of many different types of organisms, including humans.Additionally, grass provides a habitat for many different species of insects, birds, and small mammals. The tall grasses of meadows and prairies offer shelter and nesting sites for many species of birds, while the underground burrows created by small mammals such as rabbits and groundhogs provide homes for other animals. In conclusion, grass is an essential and often underappreciated component of the natural world. It provides food, shelter, and oxygen for countless organisms, and helps to prevent soil erosion and flooding. The importance of grass in the ecosystem cannot be overstated, and it is essential that we take steps to preserve and protect this vital resource.

If i HAD to describe it, dates are quite mellow and rich due to their blunt and subtle taste and gooey texture. This is accompanied by an all-round light sweetness. Not something one tends to binge, but rather a pallete cleanser and initial starter. This opinion may be due to the wide usage of dates for initially breaking the fast.

Deglet if one of my favourite, it is so sweet it taste like honey and when you drink it with milk on the end of a day of ramadan what a amazing experience! The sugar of the date get mixed with the milk incredible

@goldengully Madjool or Majhool as we call it in Morocco is a Moroccan type of date Not Californian ... They just grow it there because we have the same climate

[@yussi96654]

Nothing beats fresh dates fron Bahrain, they're not eaten liken that. They're usually left in the sun for a week or 2 which enables them to ripen into really sweet dates

My favorite is Ajwa then Sukkari. Medjool is the classic because it is the most common and easily grown around the world. Fun Fact about Ajwa is that they are grown is Madinah and were loved by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

[@GlobalAdventurer]

The ones in California aren't native to the USA they were brought there and were cultivated. Most of them grow in Winter Haven, California. The people who cultivate and harvest the dates are Mexicans that are brought in during August when they are harvested. I've eaten them straight from the date palms after they were picked. They are delicious and high in sugar 😋😋😋😋

There originally from Morocco and there’s a book that trace how the medjul date palm was transferred from Morocco to all over the world

I have no idea what variety they were, but the best dates I ever had were bought on vacation from some from some Italian food market in Halifax, they were short and a deep purplish brown color, and tasted like like a mix of lemon cake and caramel.

Usually when I eat fresh dates, I let them ripped much more. The color will change a bit and they’ll get more sweet and juicy? Not that juicy but not drying etc. They’re really good when they’re ripe

So like how dates taste like are that they have a distinct sweetness flavor and slight hints of the taste of caramel. And also, notes of butterscotch, toffee and cinnamon.

[@asmaaahmed5336]

I grew up eating sukkari and I love how sweet it is and when I was younger I used to live in saudi so every time we would go to macca in Ramadan and we would always buy some there and go back to my grandparents house which was in macca and sometimes we would make a date cake i recommend it its nice

[@_Rohan_Deshmukh]

it's pretty difficult to explain the flavour but if i wanted to explain it to someone i would say it has few components that can help like it's a bit sweet and earthy and also it's texture helps in the flavour but i think it has similar taste to a food most of the people had so it's similar to date.

[@rosier4]

that fresh one looks like the dates we have here in iraq called barhi but in its khilal phase , we also have multiple varieties of dates like khistawi and zahdi and khidrawi

The fresh dates is the best one if you watied for it to ribe a little bit its gonna be half soft half crispy Or you can wait a little longer for it its going to taste the sweetest We grow them at home and they are my favorite

[@drxym]

I was given a box of dates from Morocco and they're quite different from the medjool kind I'd normally buy in Ireland. A lot dryer and light colour to them & not so sweet and sticky. Still they're very nice. I think they are sagai from your video but the box doesn't appear to say.

[@mahmoudassem5069]

Love the thin skin on the deglets but the medjools are classic! Never tried the Ajwa though I might be missing out!

[@fatihsyukur2]

for me ajwa has a bit of bitter, smoky(?) flavor to it.. i think it's because im grown and i don't really enjoy sweeter dates like i used to.. ajwa is the choice.. but it's pricey because people say it's the date that rasulullah love the most.. yea it's a bit expensive for me.. sukari is the cheapest one, but sukari in my country is darker, jammy-er almost too soft and sticky and not brown like that you have, i think it needs a lil more drying

[@sadiakhann]

Ajwa, Medjool, and ripe fresh dates are my fav (I've been eating medjool since I was kid so ajwa is a nice change). The fresh dates you ate weren't ripe! You should wait for them to brown a little (mushy but no overly mushy) and they taste the best refrigerated!!!

[@snifey7694]

Okay, i got a Date story for any of you But if you don't wanna, watch some cats. Before i was a teenager, i seem to never understand dates that i didn't entirely intent to eat it, that's when i was 16 which is just few years earlier, my mother lecture me on sometimes long sometimes short Islamic lecture why a specific aspect of a muslim way of life explained, and with support to that lecture using many da'wah videos; somehow dates is like my snack during Ramadhan, even iftar and after, so moral of it, no matter what kind of dates, Allah SWT always give your answer when the time is truly right.

The last one is the shape of any type of dates before they are ripe. Its taste defrent according to the type. For example, the sukary fresh diet is dry and not sweet. But anthor type called Barhi is very tasty, sweet and not dry at all.

[@Freebird949]

people back in the day use to cross the desert, eating nothing but dates and surviving the long journeys because dates are so plentiful and nutritious, A little date goes a long way,, they pack a nutritional punch, I’m from America and I never go without medjool dates. I get the ones from Arizona From my local grocery store in another state and they are super sweet, juicy gooey soft unless they aren’t fresh, then they’ll dry out, I’m very athletic. Have been for a long time and they’ve been giving me what I need as a recovery snack and or pre-snack for energy. Lotta fiber very medicinal, a lot of potassium lotta nutrients in general,, dates are super nutritious.

+1:27 Medjool dates are a type of large, sweet dates that are native to Morocco🇲🇦, but are now primarily grown in the United States🇺🇸, Israel🇮🇱, and Jordan. They are one of the most popular types of dates and are known for their rich, caramel-like flavor and chewy texture. Medjool dates were originally native to Morocco and were introduced to the United States in the early 20th century. The exact route by which Medjool dates arrived in California is not entirely clear, but it is believed that they were first brought to the United States by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in the early 1900s. The USDA imported Medjool date palms from Morocco to the United States, and they were planted in the Bard Valley area of California, which is now one of the major date-producing regions in the United States. The date palms were carefully cultivated and crossbred with other varieties to create new hybrid date varieties that were better suited to the California climate. Today, California is one of the largest producers of Medjool dates in the world, with the majority of the crop coming from the Coachella Valley and Bard Valley areas of the state.

[@sportloving5947]

@GoldenGully, My brother, you should've tried the last one i.e. the fresh/unripe one first 😂 I'm feeling a bit offended that there’s no Mabroom and Maryam dates here, two of the best. However, Ajwa is my favourite and I will always consider it as the king of all dates. No wonder it’s mentioned in the hadith too. Because of it being dry on the outside and juicy on the inside, it's super easy to store anywhere you like.

[@haz2022]

I love medjool as well! The medjool from Jordan are amazing, especially the fresh ones!!

[@abdullahsher4234]

Ajwa is my favourite type of date because to me it has a balanced honey like flavour. As for what dates taste like, they taste like dark chocolate filled with honey and then dehydrated and given a melt-in-your-mouth but hard shell texture.

[@boom2854]

Deglet originated in Tunisia, not Algeria, but because the two are interchangeable in western media, it sometimes gets messed up, but they are very distinct. Deglet is our pride and joy, and you've never had something as delicious as a Tunisian deglet as your first bite when breaking fast 😋

if you ever go to Madinah, the ajwa in the date stores are so soft and moist. They dry out over time, that is why you had the hard outer layer and soft inside. If you get the right ones, the entire date is soft.
