Iraq has many specialties, probably the most famous of which are dates and Arabic flatbread.
Date palm is called "the gift of Allah to Iraq" and is one of the important specialties of Iraq.
80% of the world's date palm trees are in Iraq. Date palms are everywhere in Iraq, and the scenery of date palm forests is also a major feature of Iraq.
During the date palm ripening season, you can see large clusters of mature date palms rotting on the ground. Because there are so many dates, only ants come to visit the rich sugar content there.
Date palms have helped many poor people in Iraq survive the difficult days of sanctions.
Arabian flatbread is one of the staple foods of Iraqis. It is similar in size to our country’s beef tongue flatbread and is a yeast dough flatbread.
When eating, tear it into small pieces with your hands and eat it with beef, mutton or tomatoes, raw cucumbers, etc.
When you go out to eat at a restaurant, no matter what you order, you will be served cucumbers and tomatoes first, followed by a few flatbreads, and it's free.
