Dates, nuts and a tradition from Uruk
The Sweet of Sumer
Kleicha is far more than a confection; it is a cherished Iraqi heritage, carrying thousands of years of tradition, celebration, and storytelling. Its roots are often traced back to ancient Sumer, where clay tablets discovered in the historic city of Uruk reveal early recipes combining dough with fillings of dates and nuts—an enduring tradition that continues to this day.
