HAFM PRESENTS:

A GARDEN OF DELIGHTFUL

DATES.


(Music: "Midnight at the Oasis" composed by David Nichtern.)

   Did you know that...
  • ...dates are humanity's oldest cultivated food?
  • ...date gardens are organized on the harem principle, where one male palm services up to 50 females?
  • ...a palm and a fish can be compared/ correlated/ contextualized, even in these irreligious times? A mature date palm is priced at $50,000, and a Southern Australian bluefin tunafish fetches upwards of $40,000, surely making these 2 among the 10 most pricey living things on earth.

    • ...a good date palm can produce 300 to 600 pounds of dates per year, and will produce for 100 years or more?
  • ...a fistful of dates provides 14% of the recommended daily dietary fiber?
