The Seven Species (Shivat Haminim in Hebrew) are the seven types of fruits and grains named in the Torah as the produce of Eretz Yisroel. They are also important in the Jewish religion because one of the Maaseros was derived from these seven foods. The Maaser was called the bikkurim, which Means "first fruits."

On the holiday of Tu B'Shvat it has become a tradition for Jews to eat from the seven species.

Deuteronomy 8:8 tells us that Israel is "a land of wheat, barley, grapevines, figs, and pomegranates; a land of oil olives and date honey."

The seven species are:

Wheat (chitah in Hebrew)
Barley (se'orah in Hebrew)
Grapes (gefen in Hebrew), usually consumed as wine
Figs (te'enah in Hebrew)
Pomegranates (rimon in Hebrew)
Olives (zayit in Hebrew), usually consumed in oil form
Dates (tamar or d'vash in Hebrew)
