It’s Bala7 Zaghloul Season in Egypt and We Don’t Want to Eat Anything Else

Winter is coming and the signs are everywhere around us. November is just around the corner, the weather is already on a roller coaster of sunny and gloomy days and we finally started spotting red dates everywhere in the streets of Egypt.

 

For those who have been denying their taste buds of our beloved Zaghloul, you are missing out on Earth’s most precious delicacy. You see it, you salivate then taste it and your insides are nothing but fireworks and the best part is how dry your mouth feels afterwards. Bala7 Zaghloul is not a fruit, it is life, an experience, and this year we’re going to obsess as much as we want during our 3-days-long winter.

 

 

We will be munching on red dates in the office

 

 

 

We can’t wait to devour Zaghaleel in the car

 

 

 

Stuffing our faces in front of TV never sounded healthier

 

 

 

Daydream about climbing palm trees and picking dates 

 

 

We are going to take things a little bit further and try the bala7 Zaghloul Jam

 

 

Find the recipe here.

 

 

We’ll even get all exotic and Chinese and attempt to make red dates longan tea

Red dates jelly??? Yasss, please

 

 

Find the recipe here.

 

 

We’ll be filling them with all sorts of nuts

 

 

 

And dip them in Nutella…or the Egyptian version of it

 

 

 

We want nothing but Bala7 Zaghloul till the last day of April

 

 

 

WE SAID THIS: Goodbye world, hello Zaghloul!
