Dates are a fruit that grows on date palms, which are native to the Middle East and North Africa. They are oval-shaped, chewy, and have a natural sweetness. Dates are often mislabeled as "dried" fruit, but the ones you see in the store are a very ripe version of the date fruit. They grow in large clusters, similar to bunches of grapes, that hang more than fifty feet off the ground.

Eating just 2 dates a day can have these sweet benefits for your heart
What are dates? Dates are chewy and sweet stone fruits that have no added sugar. They are often mislabeled as “dried” fruit, but the dates you see in the store are a very ripe version of the date fruit. They grow on large palm trees and are left on the branch until they reach the brown wrinkly color and texture. There are several varieties of dates, but the ones most available in the United States are Medjool and Deglet Noor. All types are moist and sweet and make a great substitute for sugar in baked goods.
Dates are high in fiber, potassium, and antioxidants. They also contain minerals like calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Dates have many health benefits, including:
Fiber: Helps promote healthy digestion and heart health
Soluble fiber: Helps keep cholesterol in check
Potassium: Helps muscles contract, nerves function, and hearts beat regularly
Antioxidants: May help reduce the risk of chronic illnesses, such as heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's, and diabetes
You can eat dates whole alongside your coffee or tea. You can also pair their sweetness with cheese or nut butter on toast, combine them with nuts and seeds for a healthy snack bar, or chop them up to use as a topping for yogurt, ice cream, or oatmeal. You can also stuff them with yummy morsels like blue cheese for a flavor-packed appetizer.
