DatesDates are loaded with the energy you need every day. With only 24 calories per date (248 per 100 gram serving), dates are high in dietary fiber, carbohydrates, and contain more potassium than bananas! Yet they are virtually fat, cholesterol and sodium free! Dates
provide essential vitamins and minerals – such as B-complex vitamins,
magnesium and iron. Only a handful of dates – five or six –
will help you meet your 5-A-Day goal for fruit. |
