Deglet Nour (Arabic:دقلة نور 'translucent' or 'Date of light') dates are a cultivar of date grown in Algeria and Tunisia. Deglet Nour is one of more than 100 varieties of dates. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), dates can be classified into two varieties: Deglet Nour and common dates [1].
