This 250 gram container is supposed to have kurma segar or fresh dates from Egypt. Kurma usually comes out around this time of the year - it's a customary food to break the day's fast.

There's a sticker on the container which shows a local packing company but the dates are supposed to hail from Egypt. There are two pharaoh graphics meant to visually reinforce this claim as does the "Products of Egypt" font. ;)

Here's what the dates look like - they're generally large and discolored. The flesh and the skin has two distinct textures, which is bad in my book, I like them to be fused. The seeds are rather large, but there's enough flesh on each date to compensate for that.

The large seed has a, hmm...decidedly phallic look to it. ;)
