Arabs grew edible crops as oases. The primary fruit was dates which grow on palm trees. Wheat and rice were usually brought in by trade with regions with more water (usually river valleys like Mesopotamia).

The primary food product in the Arab world (after imported wheat) was sheep milk and camel milk because sheep could subsist on the grasses that are relatively common in rockier areas of the desert and camels are quite at home in the desert.
