Oh have you tried the ones from Madina? I believe their dates are the best I've eaten. Juicy, big, nice and wrinkly, brown... oh my mouth is watering already.
Astagfirullah.. I'm fasting.
I'll get back to this thread in sometime
(as for where you can get them? well, where I live, the only times I've eaten them are when people I know have got to Medina and have came back here with dates. I'd say it'd be the same in UK. Nevertheless ask your relatives or at one of your local muslim stores)
Well people do live on the other side of the world too
It is not all just mountains and deserts or just oceans
There is the continent of North America Details can be found on the internet, but if you want the real experiance, you can just fly down(or shall I say 'up' here) here and look for yourself.
to me the best dates are Medjool. I fell in love with them in Morocco. They also raise them in Algeria, but Algeria is better known for Deglet Noor . they have now begun Medjools raising here in Texas, I have been buying them fresh at a local grocery store.
There are quite a few varieties of dates. each with different texture and flavor. Do not worry about brands when looking for dates, look for the variety and until you get a chance to try all of them listen to people that are familiar with the different varieties.
I found this link about the different types of dates.
bless u sis pixie nd thanx 4 the offer. Ya i've got a mid eastern store around but their dates looked very dry, and the same as any other. And true the dates from madina are great, but by the time i get them from there ramadan will be over.
what ever you do sis, don't get turned off from dates just because you tasted some yukky ones... don't dates aren't nice, others are sooooooo yuuuuuuummmmmmm.
and also, dates are meant to look dry on the outside... aren't they?

Ajwa dates, it is believed come from Jannat and also I have heard, our Prophet (saw) first planted these dates...Here the hadith mentioning ajwa dates..
Ibn Abbas narrated, Rasoolullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) has said: أ¢â‚¬إ“The Ajwa dates is from Jannah and in it is a cure from poison (Tirmidhi and Ibne Maja).
Bukahri - Volume 7, Book 65, Number 356, Volume 7, Book 71, Number 663:
Narrated Saud:
The Prophet said, "If somebody takes some 'Ajwa dates every morning, he will not be effected by poison or magic on that day till night." (Another narrator said seven dates).
Also Muslim: Book 023, Number 5081:
Muslim Book 023, Number 5083:
'A'isha reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The 'ajwa' dates of 'Aliya' contain heating effects and these are antidote in the early morning.
I want some of those big dry dates from madina, i've been after them ever since a brother gave me one last year. They were cool. the adtes here in birmigham are all squishy wet ones :-(
