Few know the many health benefits of these little Middle Eastern gems, at any time of the year:
1. Dates are great energy boosters as they contain natural sugars.
2. They are a rich source of protein, dietary fibre and vitamin B1, B2, B3 and B5, as well as vitamin A1 and C.
3. They have high iron content and are useful in treating anaemia.
4. They are also cholesterol-free and contain very little fat.
5. They help improve the digestive system, as they contain both soluble and insoluble fibre, and different kinds of amino acids.
Eat them whole, or throw them in your smoothie in the morning for a natural sugar fix.
