Dates are a sweet, chewy, and nutritious fruit that is a staple cuisine in many Middle Eastern countries. They are, however, consumed practically everywhere in the world as natural sweeteners in smoothies, shakes, nutritional bars, bakery items, and other foods. Dates are extremely helpful since they include numerous vitamins and minerals that promote good health.

 

CULTIVATION

 

Historically, the agricultural sector has not been a part of Indian culture. Exceptions, however, can be found all over the subcontinent. The climate in India, a tropical country, is not ideal for date palm cultivation. The monsoon normally arrives about the same time as the dates start to mature. Because they lack the essential technology to deal with and preserve their crops, the few farmers who make a living from it must watch their crops decay. Farmers also complain about the high cost of saplings and the absence of government involvement. Palm cultivation in India was hampered by a lack of support and difficult weather conditions. Nonetheless, a few localities have made significant progress on the road to success.

Gujarat, which stretches along the western coast, is the largest grower in the industry. Tamil Nadu and Kerala, in the south, have their fair number of groves. Rajasthan and Maharashtra have also embarked on a date palm-growing quest.

 

CONSUMPTION

 

The soft and dry dates are known in India as Khajur and Kharek, respectively. Although both versions have a place on breakfast and dinner menus, the dry variety is preferred since it lasts longer and may be stored for subsequent use.

The demand for both dry and fresh dates has been steadily increasing. Date consumption in the United States may differ from that in Middle Eastern and North African countries, but it is extremely widespread, regardless of castes or religions. The majority of dry dates are consumed by Christian and Muslim Indians, whose behaviours and eating habits are influenced by cultural and religious factors. The sweetness and delectable flavour of dates has influenced people from all walks of life.

Doctors and dieticians have long advocated for the use of dates due to their numerous health benefits. Local harvests were unable to meet the enormously expanding demand for dates. To accommodate the ever-increasing demand, imports have been increasing.
