Dates and their origins from distant lands

It can grow well in hot and dry desert regions. The major date palm producers are Saudi Arabia, Algeria, and countries in the Arab region.

          Date palm is a fruit that is grown in small quantities in Thailand. Because Thailand is a tropical country, Thailand must import dates as well. Most of the imported dates are in the form of both fresh and processed fruits.

Botanical characteristics of dates

          Date palm is a plant in the palm family, with a height of about 30 meters, a trunk of about 30-50 centimeters, with about 40-60 leaves attached to the trunk, with a leaf length of 3-4 meters. The leaves are pinnate, with leaflets projecting in many directions. The inflorescence emerges from the base of the leaf. The fruit is oval, about 2-4 centimeters long, in clusters with a sweet and juicy taste.

          Date palm trees will start to bear fruit for the first time when they are 5-7 years old and can live for more than 100 years, with an average annual yield of about 7,000-8,000 fruits per year or about 100-150 kilograms, depending on the size and health of the tree. Date palms can be eaten both raw and ripe. The fruit will be yellow to orange and will turn brown to dark brown when fully ripe. Ripe fruit is usually dried, allowing it to be stored for many years. People often misunderstand that the extremely sweet taste of dates is due to the processing by candiing them with sugar.
