Company Description

Al-ahad & Co Introducing trading company all around the world. All kinds of Asian foods in the world but now this company introducing the dry dates from saudi arabia.Dates are among the sAlahad & Coetest of fruits: Up to 70% of their weight may be sugar. In the dry, desertlike regions of North Africa and the Middle East, where dates have been cultivated for more than 4,000 years, they provide an important source of carbohydrates. Crowning the tops of towering palm trees, dates grow in heavy clusters of oblong brown fruits--as many as 200 in a cluster that weighs up to 25 pounds. About three-fourths of the world&＃39;s date crop is grown in the Middle East, but much of the U. S. Supply comes from California and Arizona, where date orchards--called gardens in the industry--were introduced in the early 1900s.Dates are classified into three categories--soft, semisoft, and dry--according to the softness of the fruit. Dry varieties are not the same as "dried" dates (which have been deliberately dehydrated); "dry" dates are fresh dates that simply contain relatively little moisture when ripe.The date variety most often available--it accounts for 95% of U. S. Production--is Deglet Noor, a semisoft date with firm flesh. Two other popular semisoft varieties are Zahidi and Medjool; Barhi is a very soft date. You&＃39;re more likely to find the dry varieties in health-food stores.
