A lot of effort and expertise is required to grow this indigenous fruit, which growers have inherited from their ancestors. Dates are found to be rich in several vitamins, minerals and fibre and some health specialists say eating dates at prescribed quantities can lead to a balanced and healthy diet. PICTURE: Jayan Orma
