An open record of the date palm varieties grown across the seven Emirates: their characteristics, ripening stages, where they grow, and the heritage around them.
Each variety has its own shape, colour, texture and season. Drag the cards left or right, or pick one to bring it forward; pick the front card to open its full profile.
A date passes through named stages on the palm. Each one changes its colour, texture and taste, and each has its own place in the kitchen and the market.
Variety records built with the UAE's agricultural and heritage institutions, a map of where each variety is grown, and a recognition tool that tells you when it is not sure.
