Dates nutritional facts
Dates are naturally sweet, with almost 27 grams of sugar per 1/4-cup serving. The natural sweetness of dates comes, in part, from its fructose content.
Health benefits of dates
Dates are loaded with dietary fiber. Just one pitted date contains 1.6 g of dietary fiber, or 6 percent of the recommended daily intake, according to the USDA National Nutrient Database. What's more, the dietary fiber that dates contain is insoluble. This takes longer to digest, hence, contributing to a feeling of fullness or satiety.
The magnesium in it makes the bones stronger and helps metabolism. Magnesium also has mild laxative properties so consuming the fruit can also help constipation and sluggish digestive systems.
The potassium found in dates reduce stroke risk and adding dates to one’s diet can lower LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol.
Medjool dates are also particularly rich in the B-complex vitamins. They are also loaded with dietary minerals. However, they contain very little vitamin C, virtually none if they have been dried.
