Al-Shahib and Marshall (2003) reported that the fruits (dates) of the date palm contain a high percentage of carbohydrate (total sugars, 44-88%), fat (0.2-0.5%), 15 salts and minerals, protein (2.3-5.6%), vitamins and a high percentage of dietary fibre (6.4-11.5%). There are at least 15 minerals in dates. The percentage of each mineral in dried dates varies from 0.1 to 916 mg/100 g date depending on the type of mineral. Additionally, the seeds contain aluminum, cadmium, chloride lead and sulphur in various proportions. The protein in dates contains 23 types of amino acids. Dates contain at least six vitamins including a small amount of vitamin C, and vitamins B1 thiamine, B2 riboflavin, nicotinic acid (niacin) and vitamin. Date fruit is served mainly as desserts, these date fruits are generally chopped into tiny slices and scattered across cakes and puddings to ameliorate their flavor. Some people mix date paste with yogurt, milk, bread, or butter to enhance their flavor. Dates are also deseeded and stuffed with several sweet fillings like apricot. Besides the versatility of date preparation and consumption, these dry fruits also feature various nutritional values.
