I noticed that dates are often offered to guests in Moroccan households. Is there a cultural or historical reason behind this practice?

Dates are a symbol of hospitality and generosity in Moroccan culture. They’re often served with milk to welcome guests warmly.

It’s a practice rooted in Berber and Islamic traditions, as dates are mentioned in the Quran as a blessed food.

Dates are energy-rich and easily stored, making them a convenient and meaningful offering in many Moroccan households.

The sweetness of dates represents good intentions and a warm connection between the host and guest.
