Dates have been around since at least 6th century BC. Yet, even today people are crazy about this dried fruit. If you don’t know, dates are fruit that is usually dried after several stages of ripening to make them as sweet as possible. They are very sticky, as are most dried fruits and have a slightly caramel-like taste. They are widely used in vegan cooking because they are great at binding doughs together, as well as sweetening dishes. But, beyond their delicious taste, dates have so many health benefits that you shouldn’t miss out on.

Digestion

Dates have a lot of soluble fiber, which means that it can help you if you have problems with constipation, giving you smooth digestion.

Bone Health

Among other properties, dates carry many vitamins and minerals like selenium, manganese, copper, and magnesium. All of these things help you to strengthen your bones to help prevent against awful diseases like osteoporosis.

Most people think you have to resort to red meat for an iron deficiency like anemia, but you can get plenty of iron by eating dates! Not only will you be not as sluggish, the sugar in the dates will help balance your blood sugar levels.
