Very popular in the Northen part of the Country, and commonly and popularly called "Debino" by the Hausas.

It just dawned on me days back that I have been eating it for sometimes now without knowing its English name, let alone of Botanical name.

Looks more like a sort of fruit....very sweet....more of Sugar!

*spits* Chai. I regretted the day I tasted that thing. The taste is nauseating.

The English name should be 'Badinum'
















































From BAD

Its called " Date palm " and the Botanical name is " Phoenix dactylifera "

That's Date like someone already mentioned.
Very sweet and nutritious.
In the North, we eat it with groundnut.

I tasted it recently but the taste was as if artificial sugar was added?
The skin is very dry ...Is it really nutritious

I think it is naturally sweet. It has some type of honey/sweety taste. No artificial sugar added. My dad's friend from Chad brought them for us. I saw it in the store here and bought it, still sweet.

Date palm. Be mindful how much of it u consume, sha. It has laxative effects, if much is consumed at once. It is even suggested one dissolves lots of it in water and drink, in place of laxative tablets.

Its being very sugary calls for laxative attention unless one used to candies!

Well I learned something new. I've never heard it called "date palm". I only know them as dates. Like some others have said "gross"!

There is a place in Southern California that makes the BEST date shakes.

"Dates shake" kwanu...its like its more than what I thought...I thought its a VERY local sort of fruit ONLY found in Northern part of Naija.

Hmmm!

Nah, not at all lol. I don't even think it originated in Africa. It looks like something that originated in the Middle East or even Eastern Europe. It's frequent in their diets.

Oookay, thanks!
