When we speak of the great land of Eretz Yisroel that Hashem has created for us , we say :
The land of Wheat & Barley , Grapes , Figs & Pomegranates; a land of Olive oil & Honey from dates. 8 :8.
We realize that we need to thank Hashem for all of these delicious foods & to appreciate that Hashem gives us all of these options & more in His goodness , grace & kindness as we say in Bentching.
Now may be a good time for a gem of Torah study.
