list of date cultivars
{{short description|None}}
A large number of date cultivars and varieties emerged through history of its cultivation, but the exact number is difficult to assess. Hussain and El-Zeid{{cite journal|publisher=Ministry of Agriculture and Water, Saudi Arabia |year=1975 |title=Studies on physical and chemical characteristics of date varieties of Saudi Arabia |last1=Hussain |first1=Fazal |last2=El-Zeid |first2=A}} (1975) have reported 400 varieties, while Nixon{{cite journal|last=Nixon |first=R.W. |year=1954 |title=Date culture in Saudi Arabia |journal=Ann. Date Growers' Instit. |issue=31 |pages=15–20}} (1954) named around 250. Most of those are limited to a particular region, and only a few dozen have attained broader commercial importance. The most renowned cultivars worldwide include Deglet Noor, originally of Algeria; Zahidi and Hallawi of Iraq; Medjool of Morocco; Mazafati of Iran.{{cite book|first1=Jiwan S. |last1=Sidhu |editor-first1=Y.
