Dates are the sweet fruits from the date palm tree that can trace their lineage back thousands of years. In fact, archaeological evidence can pinpoint cultivation of these fruits as far back as 4,000 BC.

Dates are typically grown in the north African and Middle Eastern belt. These days, Egypt leads the pack in terms of worldwide production, while other major global players include Algeria, Iran and Saudi Arabia.
