Our company, ‘Tikrah Jallo’, offers one of the finest date products from the Al_Lubba charitable Association in the city of Jallo, located in the southeast region. This initiative aims to support and encourage community work in date-producing areas, as well as promote and market this wonderful product in the local market.

The ‘Takra’ is a distinctive Libyan food with a delightful taste, its main ingredient being dates. It’s known among desert dwellers and has been a companion during journeys and nomadic travels. Its flavor carries the secret of the desert, a taste that sustained ancestors for months while they traversed the desolate lands with nothing but water and the Takra.

The ‘Takra’ is a well-known dish across various Libyan desert cities that prioritize date palm cultivation. Each city has its unique variation in taste and blend, yet the consensus leans towards considering the Takra mix from Jalu among the most delicious and of the highest quality. Its unique blend comprises sugarcane grains (Dekhen), anise, fennel, coriander, and ginger. All these ingredients are mixed and kneaded with pitted date paste. Due to its high nutritional value, a single portion of Takra suffices as a meal, providing the body with energy and vitality, while also quickly satiating the eater.

The one of the most significant benefits of Takra is its ability to boost the body’s immunity against diseases, attributed to the high nutritional value of dates, which are its primary ingredient, in addition to the components incorporated in its composition. Takra is beneficial in treating osteoporosis, anemia, acts as a lactation stimulant, eases childbirth, and provides the body with high energy and vitality.

What distinguishes Takra is that it doesn’t require specific storage conditions or refrigeration; it can be stored in various environments. This is due to its natural components that resist spoilage without the addition of preservatives.

It truly served as a staple for desert dwellers throughout ages and times, renowned for its exceptional quality and delightful taste. Takra stands as a remarkable symbol in local date-based food industries. These products require our support and encouragement to sustain and even expand their presence in both local and international markets.
