Dates
The date is a sweet, soft fruit of the date palm and has been eaten for centuries for its energy-giving properties. It is known for its natural sugar and rich nutritional value, making it an ideal source of quick energy while providing a wide range of nutrients.
What nutrients are in it?
Dates are naturally high in dietary fiber, potassium, magnesium and iron. They also provide antioxidants, such as flavonoids and carotenoids, which help neutralize free radicals in the body. With the combination of natural sugars, fiber and minerals, dates provide both immediate energy and support for stable blood sugar levels.
What does this mean for my health?
Dates support healthy digestion thanks to their high fiber content and contribute to balanced energy levels. The minerals present, such as potassium and magnesium, help regulate blood pressure and support muscle and nerve function. In addition, antioxidants protect cells from oxidative stress and promote overall well-being.
Why do we use dates?
We use dates for their natural sweetness, creamy texture and nutritious properties. They bring a smooth, full-bodied flavor to our smoothies and juices. Dates provide energy, smoothness and balance.
