Benefits

Dates are a good source of carbohydrates. They provide a lot of energy to the organism and are an ideal food to endure long trips, to practice sports or to better cope with hard physical work. They also have a mild laxative effect due to their fiber content, which helps regulate intestinal transit and prevent constipation.
