Date seeds – the hidden wealth of Orient culture

In the Arab world, date seeds are valued no less than the fruit. They are not thrown away, but find a variety of uses – from a traditional drink to cosmetics and flour.

The traditional drink “date coffee”

Origin and tradition: Date seed coffee is made from roasted and ground date seeds. The drink is popular in Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Jordan, Egypt, the UAE and Iraq. It is especially preferred in homes where caffeine is avoided for religious or health reasons, and is often offered to women and children.

Taste and aroma: It has a dark color, a rich nutty-earthy taste and aroma, reminiscent of coffee, but without caffeine.

Health benefits: It is rich in antioxidants, fiber, minerals (such as zinc, iron, magnesium), and does not contain gluten and caffeine. It is attributed with beneficial effects on digestion, immunity and blood sugar regulation. It is believed to aid recovery after illness and during fasting.

Other uses of date kernels

Date kernel oil: It is extracted by cold pressing. The oil is rich in oleic and linoleic acids, vitamin E and antioxidants. It is used for:

- Hydration and nourishment of skin and hair

Slowing down aging and restoring skin

Strengthening nails, preventing hair loss and stimulating hair growth

Date kernel flour: The ground kernels are used as flour, rich in protein and fiber – even more than wheat flour. It is used for baking, bread, pastries, and also in cosmetics (scrubs, masks, eye shadows).

Functional Food: Date pits are a source of polyphenols, fiber, and antioxidants that can improve lipid profiles, reduce inflammation, aid detoxification, and support heart health.

Date pits as part of a sustainable culture

Using date pits reduces food waste and is an example of a circular economy in the region.

Date pit products (drink, flour, oil) are perceived as a symbol of national identity and sustainability, especially in countries like Iraq and Saudi Arabia.

Fun fact: In some regions, pits are also used for animal feed, and in cosmetics they are used in various products for their antioxidant and nourishing properties.

Date pits are a true treasure – from drink to flour and cosmetics, they prove that nothing is superfluous in nature.
