The date palm abundantly exists in North Africa, the Arab Peninsula and Iran. The first emergence of date palm dates back to 4000 BC in Mesopotamia. This long history, along with the high renewability rate, has led to the accumulation of a rich technical heritage associated with the utilization of all the secondary date palm products, including whole leaves (midribs, leaflets), petioles, spadix stems, leaf sheaths fibers, date kernels and trunks. Midribs have been used in roofing, fencing, furniture making, and manufacturing crates and coops. Leaflets have been used in making mats, baskets and bags. Leaf sheaths fibers have been used in making ropes, nets, bags, brooms and fly whiskers. Spadix stems have been used in making brooms and household sieves. In addition, fibers obtained from spadix stems have been used for tying agricultural crops. The palm trunk has been used as windows lintels, beams and columns in construction. Moreover, trunks have been used as a wood substitute in furniture making. This chapter reveals the technical heritage associated with several traditional uses of the secondary date palm products to satisfy the human needs in the Arab region. In addition, geometrical description of these secondary products and the procedures of their preparation are included.
