Let's see what
Center has for
Date lovers.
Eric samples different
varieties of Dates.
I learn about the Sex Life of the Date. For every 49 Female Trees in an acre, there is 1 Male Tree. The Female Trees are pollinated by hand because nature hasn't provided a reliable method for pollinating Female Date Palm Trees. Growers then wait 7 months for the Dates to grow and mature.
Before humans started pollinating Female Date Trees, Dates were a very rare and much sought-after sweet treat. Date Farmers created the worldwide love of Dates. That's another reason to Thank a Farmer.
