Dates are about 70% natural sugars, mainly fructose and glucose in equal proportion, which makes them an excellent source of energy. The remaining 20% consists of protein, fiber, and various micronutrients such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus.
Specifically, 100g of dates yield approximately 280 kcal, while they can cover at least 15% of our daily needs in the above minerals.
