Micronutrient Profile
Don't let their wrinkled appearance fool you - dates are one of nature's most concentrated sources of nutrients. According to nutritional data, these sweet fruits pack a remarkable 75g of carbohydrates per 100g, making them one of the most energy-dense natural foods available.
But what really sets dates apart is their impressive micronutrient profile. A closer look at their vitamin content reveals some surprising numbers:
Vitamin B6 levels reach 56.43% of daily recommended intake per 100g
Niacin (B3) provides 8.81% of daily needs
Pantothenic acid (B5) delivers 13.17% of daily requirements

Beyond vitamins, dates are mineral powerhouses too. For every 100g serving:
Potassium: 650mg (34.8% of daily needs)
Magnesium: 59mg (12.61% of daily needs)
Phosphorus: 70mg (8.86% of daily needs)
Clean Energy
Unlike many modern snacks and energy sources, dates come with a particularly attractive feature: they contain no notable toxins that could pose health risks when consumed in normal quantities. This makes them an exceptional choice for clean, natural energy - assuming you check the label carefully, as some producers coat their dates in glucose syrup.
More Data
Global date production hit record levels in 2023, with the Middle East and North Africa accounting for over 75% of worldwide output.
Despite rising transportation costs, dates remain relatively affordable compared to other dried fruits, with prices averaging $5-15 per pound depending on variety and quality.
The date palm is one of the oldest cultivated plants, with archaeological evidence suggesting cultivation began over 6,000 years ago.
Market analysts project the global date market to reach $17.6 billion by 2026, driven by increasing awareness of their nutritional benefits.
