Khajoor, or dates, are an essential part of the Ramzan fasting tradition for Muslims in India. Imported from several countries, including UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Iran, dates are consumed in large quantities during the holy month. Mumbai, with its ports, receives a significant amount of date shipments, which are then transported to other parts of the country. Dates are not only important for religious reasons but also have nutritional value, being rich in iron and beneficial for boosting immunity. The consumption of dates has increased during the pandemic as doctors and nutritionists recommend them for their health benefits.
