NOT ONLY DO OUR DATES TASTE DELICIOUS, THEY ARE ALSO VERY HEALTHY FOR YOU!
DATES ARE HIGH IN FIBER, ARE VERY LOW IN FAT WITH ZERO CHOLESTEROL, AND HAVE NO SODIUM. THEY ARE A GREAT SOURCE OF POTASSIUM AND MANY OTHER MINERALS AND VITAMINS SUCH AS MAGNESIUM, IRON, FLOURIC ACID, AND B-VITAMINS. DATES ARE ALSO HIGH IN POLYPHENOLS, WHICH ARE GREAT ANTI-OXIDANTS. WILL DATES HELP YOU STAY SLIM OR LOSE WEIGHT? THE SCRUMPTIOUS SWEETNESS OF DATES COME FROM THEIR NATURAL SUGARS, GLUCOSE AND FRUCTOSE. EATING DATES OFFERS A NATURAL HEALTHY WAY OF ENJOYING SOMETHING SWEET, AND ARE A GREAT ALTERNATIVE TO CANDY OR COOKIES. SO NEXT TIME YOU'RE DRINKING COFFEE AND CRAVE SOMETHING SWEET, REACH FOR OUR SWEET DATES INSTEAD OF A BROWNIE OR DANISH. KIDS LOVE OUR DATES TOO, WHICH MAKE GREAT HEALTHY SNACKS AT HOME AND SCHOOL. AND IF YOU ARE ARE GOING ON A RUN, BIKE RIDE, OR HIKE, DON'T FORGET TO BRING SOME DATES ALONG AS A HEALTHY NATURAL SNACK....
