Saudi Dates

One of my neighbor gave me this dates from Saudi Arabia. She knows that i love eating dates . I learned to eat this when I was working in Middle East. If i have not mistaken this is their national fruit. Dates are sweet. I eat seven to twelve pieces of them every after meal if available. This is a good source of multivitamins , fiber, calcium, carbohydrates , potassium and iron. This is a fruit so it does not contain sodium , fats or cholesterol. I do hope i have a contineous supply specially if i can't afford to buy imported chocolates.
