![]() To be honest, dates (the fruits of love) are rather a duty than a choice. A duty connected to the ancient tradition of several centuries built on courage, patience, persistence, faith and challenge. It is an unlimited effort generated by our ancestors in the huge moroccan desert. In this place, mankind could not surive without its datepalm and the palm needed the mankind’s protection and care to spread and grow. This relationship had been so important that the palm had become a major preoccupation of the mankind’s spirit within all its individual or collective projects. At this time where the world develops fast and it does not matter how, one feels linked to the conviction that the date that remains nice and good is one of the most appreciated fruits in the world. Its brilliant and golden colour, its sweet and slightly caramelised taste emphasise its belonging to an oriental origin or invite to dream about living a quiet moment in the tranquility and purity of an oasis of the Sahara. Regarding the activities of economics exchanges the date has its history within the south – north marching through the territories. Also from a religious habits during the muslim’s holy month of Ramadan, the date has its place as queen who invites generously to break the fasting starting with as tasing of it. It also by offering milk and dates how the king welcomes his guests and is welcomed himself and how engagements and marriages are celebrated. The interest in dates is not only a personal interest but it crosses the borders of this little part of Sahara to become within the world a researched object without losing its original value which remains associated to a rich aliment, that invites to share, exchange and represents like this a trade union between the different generations and the different cultures. |
