Think Middle East and one of the first things that spring to mind are dates. The high-fibre, sweet fruits are popular additions to the dining table. More so, during the month of Ramadan.
While it is a traditional practice to have dates when breaking your fast, the fruit comes loaded with health benefits such as its stabilising effect on blood sugar levels. The potassium and magnesium in dates help sustain the body during long hours of fasting.
Whether you’re a date lover or are gifting a box to your loved ones, we think some collections are worth checking out. Here are some places in Bahrain you can buy quality dates this Ramadan.
