Dates are an excellent natural sweetener. They are believed to have originated in Iran, although the Egyptians already made wine from them.

Dates are a tropical fruit grown on a date palm tree in small bunches. Scientifically known as Phoenix dactylifera, it is the tastiest and most nutritious fruit. It has a dark brown skin, soft flesh and is exceptionally sweet.

Whenever you have a craving for something sweet, instead of resorting to candy or sugar, opt for dates. They are just as sweet and much better for you.

Nutritional value of dates

Dates are often associated with dessert; their natural sweetness and rich flavor are indeed decadent. But this nutritious fruit can actually offer some pretty impressive health benefits. Here are seven ways dates can protect your health, and simple ways to incorporate this super fruit into meals, snacks, drinks, and treats.

Dates have a variety of antioxidants

In addition to their vitamin and mineral content, dates are rich in health protective antioxidants. One recent paper, published in the Journal of Pharmacy & BioAllied Sciences, states that dates are a good source of natural antioxidants, which can be used for the management of oxidative stress–related illnesses. Oxidative stress occurs when there is an imbalance between the production of cell-damaging free radicals and the body's ability to counter their harmful effects. It’s a precursor to aging and cell damage that can lead to disease. Dates also contain anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial compounds, which means they may also play a role in combating infectious diseases.

Other research has shown that dates contain many antioxidants, including carotenoids, polyphenols (e.g., phenolic acids, isoflavons, lignans, and flavonoids), tannins, and sterols. They also possess anti-fungal properties.

Dates may offer brain protection

Protective compounds in dates are also thought to help guard the brain. A paper published in the journal Neural Regeneration Research states that dates have promising therapeutic potential against Alzheimer’s disease, due to their ability to combat inflammation and oxidative stress in the brain.

Date may help ease natural labor

One additional potential benefit of dates applies specifically to pregnant women. A 2020 paper, published in the journal BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, looked at the impact of dates on labor and delivery. Researchers reviewed previously published studies and concluded that eating dates may reduce the duration of the active phase of labor, the stage during which the cervix dilates. It may also improve bishop score, a measure that rates the readiness of the cervix for vaginal labor. However, date consumption had no effect on the length of the first, second, and third stages of labor, or the frequency of cesarean section.
