RASHID AHMED's Comments

bahree dates (organic) are my absolute favorite ones!

you are very welcome rashid ! I hope that you are enjoying life :)

Thanks for the tip.:-)

hahaha thanks so much Rashid :)

My name is actually Persian and it means Pari Chehra as in fairy face i guess :P

If the dates you will be exporting are of high quality (organic) you can try to contact Orkos.com. They're a big importer of dates from all around the world.

Thanks for the add Rashid! I wish you succes with the date business. Cheers, Tom

Well I just finished my A levels finals and will hopefully be going to university in the fall...

Is fruit in Dubai very expensive? I will be going there in July sometime and I have no clue where there are wholesale fruit sellers? If you know of any let me know :P

Hi Rashid, I actually emailed alibabahk.com to inquire about their prices. They charge HK$550-650/per kg which seems extremely expensive. Cheers, John

Welll.... it hasnt been easy these last couple of days because i havent been able to go out and get fruit cause ive been busy with exams and stuff... how long have you been raw?

Hi Rashid! I live in Tokyo and have only one friend who is raw food vegan. I would like to find more people, but afraid there are no raw vegan here ;) I met here people who eat raw food but meat and fish too, no vegan. About dates, there are no fresh dates in Japan, so sorry. One shop tried to sale a little some months ago, shop Lohas (internet shop) and so expansive, so I didnt buy. But I often buying dry dates here. Take care!

Wa alaikom assalam wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh.  I'm happy to hear about Pakistani vegans.  Alhamdulillah, being vegan is easy for me, but it might be a bit of a challenge to become raw.  Welcome back to Pakistan.  May Allah reward you for any hardships you face and make it easy for you to practice Islam.  Let us be examples of how eating clean fresh fruit and avoiding animal products makes us vibrant and healthy.  The people of Pakistan need something positive to turn their attention to.  Conditions there are getting worse.  Focusing on health improvements is something that is in the individual's hands, and it would reduce suffering and promote positive thinking.  There are so many nice things about Pakistan that outsiders just don't get to hear about.  I personally love the nature in Islamabad with it's beautiful peacocks and curious monkeys up on the luscious green mountain peaks, and there are some nice orange groves in that area as well.  And Pakistan is right there on the western end of the Himalayas, home to the elusive snow leopards.  The village farmers are my favorite kind of people in Pakistan.  I met a woman who was 100 years old, and mashaallah she was effortlessly walking along the sugar cane field and digging up fresh radishes for us to snack on.  Long live the active people who eat from nature's provision!

PS.: I forgot to mention my favourite vegetable: cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and red bell peppers are very delicous. But I don't really have a favourite vegetable.

Hello Rashid, :)

i live in the south of Germany in "Baden-Württemberg". Ma faaaaaaaaaaaavourite fruit are nectarines (ripe ones) - I looooooooove them. :) And bananas are great as smoothies to get the calories in. ;) (After a banana-smoothie I always feel happy - love it! :D ) I'm studying (university): chemistry and theology in order to become a teacher. This already keeps me very busy. ;) But I also spend too much time on the internet. ;) And I love being in nature. Plus, I like praying/ meditating.  And, of course, I spend time with friends. :)

What about you? :)

Best wishes,

Julia
