Is palm tree is the national tree of uae?

Answer 1

There have always been hundreds of uses for

the date palm no better described by an old

Arab: "We shade ourselves with it, we eat its

fruit, we feed our animals from its seeds, we

make baskets and mats from its leaves, we build

ceilings and columns from its trunk and we use

it as fuel". Indeed the date palm played an

integral role in Arab life.

The date fruit is not only an excellent source of

food but has been well documented to have

medicinal properties. The date was used as the

primary ingredient in remedies to kill worms,

cure sneezing, mixed with cinnamon and milk

for an aphrodisiac and even used to make a

potion to accelerate hair growth! And why

not? The date is packed with goodness! The

dried fruit is seventy per cent sugar (fructose)

by weight and contains about two per cent

each of protein, fat and mineral matter:

Potassium, Iron, Vitamin A, B1(Thiamine),

B2(Riboflavin), B3(Niacin), Phosphorus,

Calcium and Magnesium.

Dates and date palms have been revered in the

Ancient Egyptian and Arab, Christian, Jewish,

and Islamic religions, traditions and legends.

Date palm leaves (Al Saafa) are used for the

celebration of Palm Sunday among Christians

and for the celebration of the Feast of

Tabernacles among Jews. The Holy Koran
