Super food!: Dates are rich in dietary fiber preventing LDL cholesterol absorption in the intestine and works as a laxative. Beneficial polyphenolic antioxidants, tannins, are present, as well as vitamin A, beta-carotene & lutein. Dates are an excellent source of iron & potassium as well as calcium, manganese, copper & pyridoxine (B6). Portability and low glycemic index make them a good post-workout choice.
