Dates are rich in fibre and antioxidants, and are a natural source of sweetness. This makes them a healthy alternative to other sugary snacks. Our dried dates are soft, sweet and ready for snacking.
Add dried dates to homemade muesli and snack mixes for subtle sweetness, or use to top cereals, yoghurts and desserts. Chop dried dates and use in cooking, baking and in salads.
One study concluded that dates could be considered a nearly ideal food, with a wide range of essential nutrients and potential health benefits. The study reported the most prominent health benefits of dates: there are at least 15 minerals in dates, including selenium, an element believed to help prevent cancer and important in immune function, protein, containing 23 types of amino acids, some of which are not present in the most popular fruits, such as oranges, apples, and bananas. Unsaturated fatty acids include palmitoleic, oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids.
Copper, magnesium, manganese, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), niacin, pantothenic acid, and riboflavin are also present in dates and provide their own unique preventive and healing functions.
