I have heard that the best dates are grown in Israel. Is it true ?

[Friend]

Can anyone get the best honey "sidr honey" from Yemen ?

[torkham]

not true. they israeli promote many products that had existed in palestine as their great contribution. for example, the yahudis recently adopted humus as their cuisine:

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7...401347,00.html

medjoul dates - large and soft have been marketed as israeli, and have been cropped in SW US as well - however medjoul originates in the larger area of palestine, jordan and northern KSA and now all the way from algeria to mexico

next thing is they will claim the olive (zaytoun), the fig, the oranges of yaffa (palestinian port town in what is now israel), and you know there is an israeli group that is promoting the lost tribe bani israel concept as well.

[torkham]

best dates is matter of taste, so you need to taste all before you reach to majdoul 'king of dates' conclusion.

for example amongst the muslims who know, ajwa dates are their favourite because prophet(s) recommended the ajwa. generally amongst gulf date connoisseur the khudri or khalas (forgot) is the prized, so really down to taste.

Thank you for this precious information.

About Medjool dates sold in the U.S. as mentioned by Torkham,
it's the Palm Desert area where they are found.
Best Medjools by far came from Iran, however.

that was a good comment about Israeli hubris in claims of food.

It's SABRA Hummus in America which one has to avoid,
heavily marketed to unsuspecting Americans with all sorts
of boastful claims. Not knowing any better, Americans believe
hummus is "an Israeli delicacy".

Time for Arab or other makers of truly good Hummus to show up on the international scene
and leave the Sabra brand in the dust !

i make my own delicious hummus. it is easy and cheap to make.
