Eating just 2 dates a day can have sweet benefits for your heart |
Dates are packed with fiber and antioxidants and contain other vitamins and minerals, such as copper, B vitamins, calcium, iron and magnesium. They may even play a role in managing diabetes and promoting heart health. Some people – especially those with diabetes – may worry about the high sugar content of dates, but research shows that dates have a low glycemic index and do not spike blood-sugar levels. This makes them a smart natural sweetener. The fruit is moist and sweet and makes a great substitute for sugar in baked goods. 5 recipes that use dates for natural sweetness, from fudge to milkshakes. |
