Narrative
'Samany'is said to be named after a village in Egypt. It is regarded as one of the best varieties in Lower Egypt when eaten at the khalal or early rutab stage, as most fruit of this variety is in Egypt. It is less appealing when eaten in the later stages of ripening, and is susceptible to checking and souring. 'Hayany' is a large, soft date that is yellow at khalal, darkening to dull amber or brown at later stages of development. (Information from RW Nixon, 1950, 'Imported Varieties of Dates in the United States', USDA Circ No 834, and SC Mason, 1915, 'Dates of Egypt and the Sudan, USDA Bull 241.) (RRK, 10/2006)
