In Islamic tradition, it is commonly known that 2-3 dates are consumed with a glass of water as a ritual for breaking fast during Ramadan. This tradition acts as a support in purifying the body, this is because dates are easily digested and a great source of energy and nutrients. Not only this, but dates also satisfy the strong sensation of hunger, which is likely to help those fasting to avoid overeating during Iftar meals.
That being said, there are many different brands and types of dates, from low range to specially flavoured dates. We have found a selection of gourmet date offerings to break-fast at Iftar. Likewise, these luxury dates could be the perfect gift for those you will not be able to see this year due to the current pandemic.
