Date palm trees are extensively seen in Dubai, as well as any where in gulf countries I believe. I have seen Date Palms through out the 500km distance when I traveled from Dubai to Muscat by bus. Now is the season of date fruits. The fruits are ripe. Planters protect the bunch of dates hanging from these trees by covering the bunch with a net. When I reached Dubai in the last week of March, I saw the dates in green color. Now it is almost ripe. It turned yellow and now dark red or pink in color. Antony my room mate, bought some of them, pink and red in color, and we tasted it. Wav!!! The taste is entirely different from the experience of having the packed one available in shops. The flesh of the fruit is hard as an apple. He bought it from making pickles. Pickles!!! I am waiting for the pickles to be ready and taste it. We; Malayalees makes pickle out of anything.
