shiva’at ha-minim

The biblical Seven Species (shiva’at ha-minim) are seven agricultural products listed in Devarim 8:8 as typifying the bounty of the Land of Israel. There are two grains , wheat and barley ,and five fruits, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives and/or olive oil, and dates and/or date-honey(silan), which is alternately interpreted as honey.
At Sukkot, the Seven Species are traditionally used as decorative motifs all over the Jewish world. In Israel, however, they are actually harvested at this season and, like all things Israeli, these ancient fruits of the land are being adapted to the modern world.
