This is how you can make dates interesting to eat

This recipe is simple yet fun to create. We’ll add some strawberries to enhance the flavour and rose sherbet or rooh afza (all readily available in our local food stores or supermarket). Dates are ultimate staple during Ramadhan. Traditionally, they are known as the food Prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H ate when he broke his fast. When fasting lasts from sunrise to sunset, the body can develop mild problems such as headaches, low blood sugar and lethargy. Dates are an excellent source of fiber, sugar, magnesium and potassium. They are also quite filling which make dates much better than fried or fatty foods that only get digested quickly and leave one hungry for more.
