4 Surprising Health Benefits of Dates
1) For your five-a-day: Dates provide essential vitamins and minerals – such as B-complex vitamins, magnesium and iron. Only a handful of pitted dates – five or six – will help you meet a 5-A-Day goal for fruit.
2) Edible energy: A serving of California dates contains 31 grams of carbohydrates, making them a powerhouse of energy: three grams of dietary fiber and 29 grams of naturally-occurring sugars such as fructose, glucose and sucrose to provide quick energy.
3) Replenish potassium: Eating pitted dates and drinking water is an ideal, natural way to restore potassium to the body. A serving of California dates contain 240 milligrams of potassium or 7% of the recommended daily value. Bite for bite, they have three times the amount of potassium as bananas!
4) Fabulous for fiber: The American Cancer Society recommends 20-35 grams of dietary fiber a day. A serving of power-packed California dates – five or six pitted dates – can provide 3 grams of dietary fiber. That’s 14% of your recommended daily value.
