Deuteronomy 8:8 calls Israel "a land of wheat, barley, grapevines, figs, and pomegranates; a land of oil olives and (date) honey."

The "seven species" come from this verse:

  • Wheat (chitah in Hebrew)
  • Barley (se'orah in Hebrew)
  • Grapes (vine, gefen in Hebrew), usually consumed as wine
  • Figs (te'enah in Hebrew)
  • Pomegranates (rimon in Hebrew)
  • Olives (zayit in Hebrew), usually consumed in oil form
  • Dates (tamar or in the verse, honey, d'vash in Hebrew)
