Episode 609 - The Amazingness of the 'Kurma' or Dates

This years Kurnia from HM was by far the best I've ever had. Every year during Ramadhan, Muslim families have the privilege to get Kurmas packed in containers. One for every member of the family. It is said that Kurmas have high energy content and is good for one who fasts during Ramadhan. And that is a fact! I had a few Kurmas and 2 cups of water for Sahur and it was a great miracle that I wasn't as hungry on days which I 'Sahur-ed' with rice or noodles! Plus, you won't have to go back to bed with a blotted stomach. And dates are actually one of the best food to take when breaking fast. It has several other benefits such as containing high dietary fibre and natural sugars, all the sweetness you need for the day. Reportedly, one kilogram of dates contains nearly 3,000 calories which enough to supply the minimum daily requirements of an active man for one full day. But seriously, don't take a kilo of dates. Just take a few and you can see and feel the difference!

So, go get a date!
