ʻO ka hua ʻono o ka lāʻau lā he meaʻai nui ma ka Hikina Waena no nā kaukani makahiki. Hōʻike nā frescoes kahiko o ʻAigupita i ka poʻe e ʻohi ana i nā lā, kahi e hōʻoia ai i ka lōʻihi a me ka ikaika o ka pilina o kēia hua me nā poʻe kamaʻāina. Loaʻa ka nui o ke kō a me ka waiwai nui o ka meaʻai, ua loaʻa nā lā ma nā ʻāina Arab i nā ʻano hoʻohana like ʻole. Hoʻopau hou ʻia lākou, ma ke ʻano o nā hua maloʻo, syrups, vinegars, pālahalaha, jaggery (kahi ʻano kō) i hana ʻia mai nā lā. He kuleana koʻikoʻi nā lau pāma lā i ka mōʻaukala o ka Hikina Waena. Ma Mesopotamia kahiko a me ʻAigupita kahiko, ua manaʻo ʻia ka lāʻau pāma he hōʻailona o ka momona a me ka lōʻihi. Ma hope mai, ua lilo ka lau pama i ʻāpana o ka moʻomeheu Kalikiano: no ka manaʻoʻiʻo ua waiho ʻia nā lau pāma i mua o Iesū i kona komo ʻana i Ierusalema. Hoʻohana ʻia nā lau lā ma ka lā hoʻomaha Iudaio o Sukkot. He wahi kūikawā nā lā ma ka hoʻomana Islam. E like me kāu e ʻike ai, mālama ka poʻe Muslim i ka hoʻokē ʻai ʻana o Ramadan, e mau ana no hoʻokahi mahina. ʻO ka hoʻopau ʻana i ka pou, ʻai maʻamau ka Muslim - e like me ka mea i kākau ʻia ma ka Koran a pēlā i hoʻopau ai i ka pou o ke kāula ʻo Muhammad. Manaʻo ʻia ʻo ka hale pule mua he mau lāʻau pāma, kahi i kūkulu ʻia ai kahi hale. Wahi a nā moʻomeheu Islam, nui nā lāʻau lāʻau i ka paradaiso. Ua lilo nā lā i mea nui o ka meaʻai o nā ʻāina Arab no nā makahiki 7000, a ua mahi ʻia e nā kānaka no nā makahiki 5000. Ma kēlā me kēia hale, ma luna o nā moku a me nā huakaʻi wao nahele, aia mau nā lā i mea hoʻohui i ka meaʻai nui. Manaʻo ka poʻe ʻArabia i kā lākou meaʻai maikaʻi loa me ka waiū kāmelo. ʻO ka pulp o ka hua he 75-80% kō (fructose, i kapa ʻia ʻo ke kō invert). E like me ka meli, he nui nā waiwai maikaʻi o ke kō invert: He haʻahaʻa loa ka momona o nā lā, akā waiwai i nā huaora A, B, a me D. ʻO ka meaʻai Bedouin maʻamau ʻo nā lā a me ka waiū kāmelo (ʻo ia ka huaora C a me ka momona). E like me ka mea i hōʻike ʻia ma luna, ua waiwai ʻia nā lā no nā hua wale nō, akā no nā lāʻau pāma. ʻO kā lākou haʻalulu i hana i ka malu a me ka malu no nā kānaka, nā mea kanu a me nā holoholona. Hoʻohana ʻia nā lālā a me nā lau e hana ai. I kēia lā, ʻo ka lāʻau lāʻau ka 98% o nā kumulāʻau hua a pau ma UAE, a ʻo ka ʻāina kekahi o nā mea hana nui o ka hua. ʻO ka Mosque of the Prophet, i kūkulu ʻia ma Medina ma kahi o 630 AD, ua hana ʻia: ua hoʻohana ʻia nā kumu lāʻau e like me nā kolamu a me nā kaola, ua hoʻohana ʻia nā lau no nā moena pule. Wahi a ka moʻolelo, ua hoʻonoho mua ʻia ʻo Medina e nā mamo a Noa ma hope o ke kaiakahinalii, a ma laila i kanu mua ʻia ai ka lāʻau. Ma ka honua Arab, ua hānai mau ʻia nā lā i nā kāmelo, nā lio, a me nā ʻīlio ma ka wao nahele ʻo Sahara, kahi mea ʻē aʻe. Hāʻawi ka lāʻau lāʻau i ka lāʻau no ke kūkulu ʻana.
