Medjool dates are sometimes called the “King of Dates” because of their large size and plump texture. Despite being one of the sweetest fruits on the planet, dates are deliciously nutrient dense and are full of minerals, vitamins, and health benefiting phytonutrients. They are very easily digested, allowing your body to make full use of their nutrition. They make an excellent, whole food source of sugar to be substituted in any number of dessert recipes, smoothies, and sweet treats.
