Hey everyone! I just wanted to correct myself! In the video I said dates have more protein per calorie than many other fruits, but what I meant to say was PER GRAM! Sorry for the confusion!
One tip everyone needs to know before eating a date. Cut/open lengthwise, remove pit, and INSPECT the inside. Some dates have an ant/small insect inside. Make sure to clean the inside before eating the date. Also, Sukkary means 'sugary;' this is the name of that specific kind because it's so sweet (as if date isn't sweet as is lol).
I actually stop sugar, bread, coffee, dairy and 0 gluten, my only way when I am really really craving sugar, I have 2 dates and that's it! heart and soul are happy! Thank you so so much for sharing!
trying this too, messed up this week. Weight is fine but I was hard on my body when young and feeling it now. When I keep inflammation down through diet I am good.Just a thought, sour dough bread IS GOOD FOR YOU! That is the bread Jesus ate and the bible spoke of. The longest living cultures eat a lot of sour dough.
Today I bought fresh mazafati dates from the Turkish supermarket in our area and it is the most delicious fruit I've ever tasted! Seriously, they are like baklava soaked in sugar syrup and flavoured with rose water, I can't believe nature produces something so sweet, creamy, and perfumed.
I always enjoy your ideas. I started eating dates more consistently after watching your videos. The way I use them most is I make a date paste by soaking dates overnight (450 grams pitted dates to 3/4 cup water) in a pint mason jar. The next morning I dump the soaked dates and water into a vitamix with 1 T vanilla extract, and purée until smooth. I keep the date paste in the fridge and use a heaping T in my oatmeal, with ground flax, ground chia, homemade macadamia cashew butter, and a splash of unsweetened almond milk. OMG, so amazing.
A good date recipe!: Blend up soaked dates with water until it has a maple-syrup texture. Mix it into some oats (and nuts and seeds if you want) and bake at 400 degrees F for 10-15 minutes. Healthy homemade granola!!!
Great for a breakfast bar... I don’t like milk yuk, don’t like alternatives, breakfast bars in shops not great and hidden extras added.. just have to make a good batch .. thank you
Except for granola needs to be cooked longer than most know in order for it not to be hard to digest. And if you do not get the organic oatmeal, you only get round up in your oatmeal... Which is very unhealthy. Organic oats have less round up spray.. Rinse before cooking and cook one hour.
Hi i am from Egypt and i had many dates palmtrees in my school xD also i have a friend who comes from the desert part of Egypt ..his grandfather tells stories about the time when people could survive for weeks only on dates and camal milk "because other food supply have to come from the Nile Vally and the roads and preserving tech weren't that advanced"
My favorite way to eat dates is...daily. I had absolutely no regrets walking out of the store with my 11 lb box of dates. My wife was not surprised at all. I have been watching for a couple of years now. You are a huge inspiration to me. Thank you for spreading the good vibes!!
@@Enes-wj5xq Exactly, I can't fathom how people think that nature has brain, when the most obvious is the perfect design of everything for the continuation of life on earth.
I'm from the Coachella valley/palm springs, love all the date varieties our 2 local establishments provide. From date shakes, Baked goods to assorted gift boxes.
Lived in Egypt for years and visited many times - Breaking the fast in Ramadan with fresh juicy dates is a gastronomic delight. Back in the UK and it's the dried variety which is a shame but they are still delicious!
I LOVE dates right out of the package but adding almonds or cashews really is delicious! Some suggestions for your amazing foods series: flax, chia, quinoa, berries, mushrooms, grains like farro, freekeh, millet etc... I can't wait to see what you do next, I'm loving this series & your other videos!
Never ate dates until I started eating plant based. They are so delicious. I can't convince my adult kids to eat them yet they eat sugary stuff and candy. Like you mentioned its like natures candy. Love dates in salads as mentioned! One of the local burger(plant based) joints serves an arugula salad with dates. Its so tasty. Thanks for such an informative vid! Keep them coming. This one was awesome!
I have always loved dates originating from date squares and make it several times a year. I have also switched from using honey to date syrup, very versatile and healthy food.
I always eat mine with almond butter 🥰 so delicious! I eat the honey dates and just dip them in the almond butter, yummy! Can't wait to try bacon wrapped dates as well 🤯
I got to try fresh dates at an Indian market in Oklahoma City about 10 years ago. They were crazy good! They were green, the texture was a bit like an apple but more dense, and they were sweet, sweet, sweet. I haven't been able to find them since but I sure wish I could!
I eat dates everyday. Love them with my morning oats! I also use them to sweeten sauces, like your tahini sauce or another one in which I blend cashews, nutritional yeast, soya milk and dates. This cashews sauce is delicious to eat with pasta or with tempeh 😋💚
Love dates! My mom always makes date paste (blend pitted medjool dates with as much hot water as needed to reach desired consistency) and uses it in place of jam on sandwiches with a variety of nut/seed butters!
OMG yes!! Dates with Peanut butter! Thanks for the reminder, I used to eat that a lot and I haven't been feeling like eating any kind of food lately (too stressed due to my masters thesis), but Im totally psyched for dates with peanut butter now! And dates with celery? sounds interesting, definitely gonna try that tomorrow :)
Yes! What a great idea to select a single food and discuss it. I learned some interesting facts here, and most importantly felt better about using dates. Looking forward to the others in this series.
Thru a date company years ago, I learned of bread dates! My kids loved them! Nomads carried them in their pockets to carry for snacks. Not sticky at all!
Dis-sease is caused by acidic foods causing mucus and blockages. Fruits are easy to digest and alkalinizing to the body. However diabetics often need to be treated with fasting before fruiting so that basic systems can begin to recover. Think of fasting like a cast for a broken bone, only after the bone is set can gentle excercise (eating a fresh fruit diet help) This all can often trigger detox. The path back to true health is a journey and not always fun. But oh wow it is worth it.
Omg I love you!!! I just found your page I’m a fellow nutritionist and I LOVE this idea!!! Making nutrition and understanding of our magical foods so practical Thank you!!!! :)
Dates are definitely one of my favorite fruits - especially the Medjool ones ! In my area, we have access to fresh dates but I personally prefer them dry. :)
A few months ago I lost a tooth because there were parts of the pit in a bar made of dates 😣 but I'm still obsessed with them 😍 thank you for making a video about my favourite treat and thank you for all of your high quality content! 😊
I got some fresh/hard dates from Santa Monica farmers' market a few years ago. The vendor told me the fresh/hard dates would become soft and eatable in about 2 weeks. I brought the "branches* with dates on them home and waited about 18 days before the dates ripened and became the soft sweet dates like the ones I generally got in the store.
I love Medjool Dates! I went to Israel in 1996, and their dates were large & had the BEST taste. But I still love them here in the US, and have bought loads of dates over the years. Love your new ideas! Thanks so much!
Fresh dates are to die for!I never had fresh ones till I started living here in the GCC Before they turn,They are so so crunchy!🤤 Then right after the color changes right from the trees are soooo soft🤤
Last Christmas I made dates filled with hazelnut and then covered in dark chocolate, a much appreciated treat. I also use some date syrup, I guess it is not as healthy since all the fiber probably is removed. But it works when I want to make a sauce and don't have or want to use a blender.
Dates with sweet potatoes and raw pecans are my favorite combo. Also, dates with oatmeal and pb are my fave. Or almonds butter. I try to watch my date intake bc of my poor teeth . Lol
I always have dates with peanut butter it’s good for breakfast and you can have black coffee with it. it’s very helpful for vegans and people who have diet❤️
For the last year I have been going through a HUGE spiritual transformation. One of the trickiest things has been to follow the diet that my body is telling me to ingest (vegan). Your channel has been a wonderful eye opener for me while also easing the tension of fully going through with it. Thank you so much and keep em' coming!
Great video thank you! I love putting dates chopped up in my cereal, for e.g cornflakes, with chopped up dates, and some fresh strawberries, its very tasty, healthy, and easy to do.
Dates is my favorite fruit. I eat about 20 a day. If you have the chance to visit one of the Middle Eastern countries then try as much dates as possible!! It’s the best and there are so many types each with a different taste. There’s also the unripe dates. They’re ‘crunchy’ and not as soft nor as sweet but sooo good as well !
Dehydrated Fruits and Vegetables. I recently purchased a food dehydrator and have been dehydrating vegetables and fruits. I wanted to make some energy bars with protein and don’t know how to go about it. I like the idea of dehydration because it allows to have healthy food at hand without spoiling.
Because of you I decided to become vegan. I was a vegetarian and I wanted to go vegan but I was intimidated until you showed me how easy it is. Thank you. :)
Really nice and informative. Another delicious and nutritious ideaa; grated ginger and a bit of cinnamon on the bottom of the slit date. Then about a t of peanut butter placed on top and a t of hemp hearts piled on the pb. Then a tiny bit of Himalayan salt to taste. When wanting carbs and shunning fat, use homemade carob or cocoa or cacao paste instead of the pb. I find though that I can never leave off the hemp hearts regardless of what's underneath.
I put a date in my green tea for sweetener....it soaks in there for a while then I strain it once the sugar has come out. Great way to not use sugar. Sometimes I make it night before and let it sit so by morning all sugar has released
chopped up dates in home made granola!!!! When it comes out of the oven and you get that sweetness of the dates in with nuts and seeds and cinnamon....OMG...can't get enough!!
I’ve recently started liking (loving!) dates. The trouble for me is I find it difficult to eat just a serving or two in one sitting… I tend to eat 10-20 of them at a time. I know it’s better to binge on dates than Doritos or ice cream, but 😬.
Thank you for the holistic history of this awesome food!!! I love learning about all of the aspects of what I’m eating from history to health and nutrition content.
I just bought some perny dates. I've never tried them before, but they are sticky, and super sweet, and like caramel. Went back and bought 4 more packages to stock up on them, because they're amazing. LOVE dates.
A favorite way to have dates: Almost split in half, covering apple wedges= candy apple dates🍏🍎. Also like to freeze Ajwa dates. They are black and small, so after freezing, they are like chewy hard candy. Yummm🍬🍬🍬🍬
dates are amazing and super deliiii!!! Specially Medjool dates... are THE BEST. I've been living in Granada - Spain For two years now and they're so common in here cause the arabic culture! Thank you :)
Hey man, loving the content, would like to thank you for inspiring me and because of you I have decided to go vegan, currently 2 weeks in and going well, also starting training but slow going. Once again thanks all the way from Swindon england
dates are definitely amazing like you said and so are YOU!!! thanks for posting this! Very informative for a lot of people! fun fact: sukkari dates (sound a lot like sugar), that's where the name comes from . sukar is sugar in arabic :)
A special treat at Christmas time in my family were dates stuffed with oven toasted and then salted almonds. The combination of the sweetness of the date and the salted almond is so delicious!
I eat them every day. Just three but they’re great with everything. My yoghurt nut and blueberry bowl, fresh crudités, some cheese, apple, or any combination, sometimes pepperoni just to brighten up the snacks. Fun to think of new combos
Hey everyone! I just wanted to correct myself!
In the video I said dates have more protein per calorie than many other fruits, but what I meant to say was PER GRAM!
Sorry for the confusion!
Thanks dude!
Sir, please make a detailed video on protein intake to build muscle or lose fat scientifically.
Could that be because they´re dried and therefore concentrated? How would they compare to other dried fruits?
Thanks Derek, I'm loving these videos about the benefits of certain foods, very interesting ☺ 🌱
One tip everyone needs to know before eating a date. Cut/open lengthwise, remove pit, and INSPECT the inside. Some dates have an ant/small insect inside. Make sure to clean the inside before eating the date. Also, Sukkary means 'sugary;' this is the name of that specific kind because it's so sweet (as if date isn't sweet as is lol).
He's probably my favourite nutritionist he talks about history, culture and food so respectfully and knowledge. I just love it
Thank you for sure a kind comment!

To me Fresh dates taste sweeter than the dried ones. I am originally from Iraq and we had a date tree in our backyard lol
me too! But which ones?
That must of been awesome!
amazing. I have never tried a fresh date before!
Phitzee not sure tbh I was a kid back then, but in Iraq Barhee dates are the most common so it could be that one.
Simnett Nutrition I think you can find fresh dates in California, maybe on your next trip to the US you’ll get to try it!
You need to try the date with peanut butter, walnuts on top, and cinnamon !!!!! Just made that combo the other day and it’s AMAZiNG!!!!!!
