Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Fresh Date

  • Metabolic Effect: Fresh date is a fruit with a high natural sugar content and provides rapid energy. Thanks to its fiber content, it supports digestion and gives a feeling of fullness. It also contains minerals such as potassium and magnesium.
  • Consumption Recommendation: You can consume fresh dates alone as a snack. Consuming it with yogurt or milk for breakfast or snacks ensures a more balanced rise in blood sugar.
  • Things to Consider: Since fresh date has a high sugar content, diabetics and those who pay attention to weight control should pay attention to their portions. One medium-sized date is approximately equal to one serving of fruit.
  • Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from fresh dates, you need to walk for about 15 minutes. Alternatively, a 10-minute brisk run will have the same effect.
