What Are Dates?
Dates are small cylindrical-oval fruits that grow in clusters on the date palm tree (Phoenix dactylifera). One date palm can produce between 400 and 600 kg of date every year. There are many types of palm trees but not all palms grow dates.
The journal Frontiers in Plant Science says that date fruits are actually berries. Fruit from the date palm has a high nutritional value with many therapeutic properties. Date palm fruits contain antioxidants and antimicrobial properties that help to promote good health.
According to information published in the journal Food Research International, the best types of dates are Medjool, Deglet Noor, and Kholas.
Dried dates contain more sugar and phenolic compounds (plant-based antioxidants) than fresh dates.
Dates also come in various colors ranging from light brown to black.
