Benefits of dates:

Dates are very nutritious as they contain proteins, sugar, mineral salts and vitamins, especially vitamin C;

A striking feature of the date's composition is the fact that, in addition to being very sweet, it is extremely rich in fiber and an excellent source of potassium, iron and calcium;

Dates contain 72% of simple and complex carbohydrates. This makes them one of the most energy-dense foods known. Therefore, they are ideal for those who need a lot of energy, such as children, athletes, executives, and others.

Dates help maintain necessary mineral levels.

Fresh dates contain between 20% and 36% of sugar, while dried dates contain between 55% and 80%. Due to their complex sugar content, this fruit allows the body to metabolize them slowly.

This is an interesting quality when we have to maintain an intense pace of physical or mental effort for a long period of time (endurance sports, long-duration events, or even an intense work pace).

Dates are also rich in vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), known for its calming effects. Because of this, some people call dates "natural anti-stress pills" due to their ability to provide a sense of well-being and relaxation.
