Everyone in Dubai will think it is one of the richest cities in the world. It is located in the middle of the Middle East, facing the Persian Gulf. It is a desert place with an area of about 4 1 14 square kilometers. Actually, Dubai is not a big city, but it is the most populous city in the United Arab Emirates with 3 million people. Although the population is small, its GDP can reach 654.38+008 billion US dollars, and it is a well-deserved "shopping center for the rich", all of which come from the local developed tourism development, financial information services and local mineral resources.
As a city with developed tourism, Dubai also has many specialties, among which "rich fresh fruit" which is deeply loved by local people is worth mentioning. This rich fresh fruit is the date palm, also known as Arabic date, which is the fruit of the date palm tree. Compared with domestic dates, date palms are particularly sweet, and most tourists in China can't stand this sweet but not greasy taste. So why do Dubai people like it so much?
Remember, Dubai is a city in the desert, and it is one of the cities with the scarcest water resources in the world. Date palm is the only fresh fruit with high yield in the local area. Making dates into nuts can be preserved for a long time. Coconut meat is actually rich in glucose, although it is very sweet, so you don't have to worry about getting fat when eating it, and it will naturally be loved by local people.
In addition, date palms can be used as belly food and have the reputation of "desert toast bread". People will feel full after eating dates, and they can be stored for a long time because of their storability. Dates are indispensable "food" for locals and some tourists to explore the desert.
Jujube has many functions, such as strengthening the spleen and promoting digestion, relieving cough and moistening the lungs. Imported top-grade date palms (bateel date palms and mediool date palms) are expensive, costing several hundred yuan. Like our domestic dates, the price is relatively cost-effective, but the taste is too sweet. Many tourists in China don't like this sweet fruit, so they usually choose to soak it in water, and few people often eat it as a snack. Therefore, it is difficult for China tourists to understand why Dubai people like to eat dates so much. It can only be said that their different living environments lead to different tastes.
