Rahaf had surgery for a stomach issue in 2013, and due to the post-surgery restrictions, she was missing out on crucial nutrients. After consulting specialists for a solution, she was advised to eat dates as they have a tremendous nutritional value.

Normally speaking, the seeds of the date are wasted and thrown away, both by private consumers as in production processes. However, as Rahaf really doesn’t like waste, she kept the date seeds and soon realized that they held a lot of benefits. She then decided to produce a drink from them, but because of the war and many conflicts in her native Syria, it seemed impossible to do so. Now, years later, she has made her dreams come true and launched Daffee together with Tamim in the Netherlands.
