Dates are a miracle of my Allah's
creations, and the soil of Madinah was given special qualities to yield out the
best dates of this world, Ajwah, Ambar, Rabee'ah, Barni, Safaawi,
etc.
Qasim is also famous for dates,
Sukkari, Rashoodiah, Barhi, Nabtat Ali, Khudri are the popular types seen on the
shelves.
But there is a unique variety (from
Qasim) which rarely appears in the market (a reason could be lesser number of
trees), probably you have never heard the name earlier, it is so wet that it
never dries out & it is difficult to change its Rutab to Tamar, has a short
shelf life & and that is why it is available in vacuum packing.
At some elegant date shops (Tamoor
Fakhirah), you may find its refrigerated Rutab, the price is as high as SR 65/-
per kg. But a single piece melting in your mouth will speak that you have
paid the correct amount........ soft flesh, tiny stones, high in sweetness, like
a Makhmal ~ SILK, it is the miraculous NABOOT SAIF ~ نبوت سيف.
