This is how your DATTELBÄR organic dates grow!

Ah, the sweet, delicious, and juicy date!

A popular snack that has been enjoyed around the world for centuries.

But have you ever wondered where dates come from and how they are harvested?

The DATTELBÄR will answer all your questions!

Where do dates actually grow?

Dates originated in the Middle East and North Africa and have been cultivated for thousands of years. They are grown in warm, dry climates, typically in countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, and even parts of the United States.

Harvesting dates is an extremely intensive process that demands a lot of work from farmers.

Dates ripen at different times, so farmers must carefully select which dates are ready for harvest. They must also ensure that neither the fruit nor the tree is damaged.

Dates are therefore usually harvested by hand, using a long pole to reach the top of the tree.

What does a typical workday look like for date farmers?

A typical day for a date farmer begins with inspecting the trees for ripe dates. Once the ripe dates are identified, they are carefully picked from the tree using a pole.

The dates are then placed in baskets and taken to a sorting area where they are further inspected and sorted into different varieties. Once the sorting is complete, the dates are packed in boxes and prepared for shipping.

We at DATTELBÄR are proud to offer you the best organic dates!

Our farmers work with dedication and love every day to ensure that you snack on only the best and freshest dates!
