1 min readAlso available in العربية

Many fruits and plants are mentioned in the Holy Quran, most of them in the description of Paradise and the food of its inhabitants. Among these are what the Children of Israel requested, as stated in Surat Al-Baqarah: "And [recall] when you said, 'O Moses, we will not endure one kind of food. So call upon your Lord to bring forth for us what the earth grows - from its vegetables, its cucumbers, its garlic, its lentils, and its onions.' [Moses] said, 'Are you exchanging what is better for what is less?'"
