Dates Are Everywhere

Although many countries around the world have their own Ramadan traditions, one thing that's the same across the globe is that dates are everywhere. Dates are a huge part of Ramadan tradition, as every Muslim will typically break their fast by eating dates. That's because dates are rich in carbohydrates and nutrients, which will give Muslims a boost of energy they desperately need after a day of abstaining from food and water.

In fact, this act dates back as far as the Prophet Muhammad, who once said, "When one of you is fasting, he should break his fast with dates; but if he cannot get any, then (he should break his fast) with water, for water is purifying."
