Скачать или смотреть Kish or Kush of Balochis - کوش یا کیش بلوچانی، ھیچان بلوچستان

The edible part of date palm trees. Recorded in Hichaan Balochistan in 2018. It is nicknamed as the brain of the palm tree. To many; it is widely known as Kush but in some regions of Balochistan it is also called Kish.
Getting your hand on the kush of the palm tree is hard work and plenty of axe wielding is necessary but the soft, bitter sweetish taste is well worth it. Moreover, kush is considered to be a delicacy as no Baloch farmer would willingly chop down his/her valuable palm tree for a bit of kush. Therefore, kush is only available when a palm tree fall off or close to falling. In this video, you can see the palm tree is bent from almost the middle, perhaps as a result of a strong wind. With a bend like that it would be impossible to maintain such a tree for its fruit, so the best option would be to ''kush it'' as the local would say. And then, plant a new palm tree in its place.
