- Dates are one of the foods I constantly keep stocked in the house because they are just so versatile and as you will learn in this video, they are so much more than just little sugar bombs! Let me know your thoughts down below and your favourite way to incorporate dates into your meals.

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).
If there's anything a single vegan could use, it's a date.
;)
LOL I see what you did there..

I was going to write the same 🤣
😄🙌🏾
What an amazing guy. Very well put together video and passionate presenter. I never liked dates more
These dates are the only dates I'm currently having 😂
Phitzee hahah
@@bosnianphysique8207 haha!
@Nicky J at least im not the only one 😂 no complaints either haha
Omg, hahahaha
🤗😝
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!!!!!!
I went to a date festival in Qatar. I never knew there were so many varieties. I've also never tasted anything as good in my life as a fresh date.
"if you're lookin' for a cheap date..." LOL
K Bel ha ha....good luck with that! You won’t find either version of a “cheap date” in Montreal.
(K Bel) Good clean joke, thought it was hilarious

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.
I add dates into my oatmeal every morning 😍😍 and please do oats next
Oats rock! Go steel cut or go home!
Bob Gunner 🙌🏻🙌🏻
@@bobgunner3086 Steel cut? Thats cute, try soaked raw sprouted groats.
@@RJ-dw4jw that sounds awesome. Where can you get fresh raw oats?
@@bobgunner3086 Bulk Barn, they usually have them organic as well
Who else was eating dates while watching this?
I'm really enjoying these amazing food series videos! I
Dates are low on the glycemic index. Check it out for yourselves with a little research and understand the fibre content. I'm a T2 diabetic and eat three a day.
45 years old and from Denmark. I had never tasted a date before watching several of your videos. Bought a box today and just had 4 of them. Yum yum :) They really are candy.
Wow
Cut them into pieces and add mixed nuts
I love eating them frozen 😋
@@leeillman4983 yep, very good idea. I do everyday with nuts and dark 90 % chocolate. Delicious 😋
try to eat the persian or ajwadates, or maybe the majdoul dates, they will be a real treat.
What did Derek say to the Peanut Butter? "Do you wanna go on a date?" 😍😂💞
Funny indeed!
Haha
We can live hundreds of years on dates and milk in Saudi Arabia
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!!!
What a fantastic idea.. brilliant... I’m on that today ❤️👍🏼❤️❤️❤️
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.
Brilliant idea ❤❤❤
Thank you for this!
This one was especially funny, you crack me up 😂 I’d love to see a vid on -SEEDS-
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.
Eating dates while watching this hahaha 💕😋
Fun fact: dates Plus peanuts Plus some gooey Chocolate - tastes exactly like snickers. incredible! I just started falling in love with dates, wow.
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!
Dates are amazing but when I have them I always ending up eating the whole bag lmaoooooo
Cool! Buy 30 bags as a month supply
I get you!
Yeah me too.
Soo relatable!
Lmao 😂 Ditto!
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 :)
I could easily consume a kilo of this stuff they’re so addictive 😭
The Costco medjool dates are my favorite! Absolutely irresistible with almond butter for sure. Great video!
Alex Picchi Costco medjool dates are deadly! That’s where I get mine as well!
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 🤯
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"
Question, how to preserve them for long time?
Just in time for Ramadan, starting May 5th or 6th! We always have dates on hand during this time of year.
YEs I read it is very popular to break the fast with
Good info he gave.
@@Simnettnutrition Yes, it was one of prophet Muhammeds(PBUH) favourites.
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 😬.
LOL. You make a habit of binging on anything, you will be 300 lbs in a few years!
Try to fill up on less calorie dense foods like whole grains,beans,legumes ,fruit and salads
I blend my dates with nuts and seeds in a blender and use them as a study snack
Oooooh great idea,I should try that it sounds really tasty :)
Can you share the proportions you use?

Not great if your goal is weight maintenance or weight loss...
“It’s a date! Ya Eatum!” -Indiana Jones
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!!
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.
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
Dates are good with apples too..carmel apples
This is excellent! Thank you for this! Why are people giving these videos a thumbs down? Rude!!! Thank you so much for these videos!
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. :)
Just went and tried dates with peanut butter, sooo good! Great easy little pick me up snack!
The best! Great pre workout too :)
dates tastes like no other thing, I cannot compare it to any existing sweet fruit =) im so lucky to live in Saudi Arabia the heaven of organic dates for the least prices, we product millions of them and I include them in all my smoothies and my guts loves it
Should we be mindful of anything when buying? Is organic important? Fair trade? These sound pretty sustainable but wondering if that's true
Zachary Cain still, most of dates are produced in illegaly ocupued by israeli territories of palestine. Always check WHERE it was produced @simnettnutrition
@@mantant5461 Propagate biased political narratives much? Oh, never mind...
@@mantant5461 Who says it's illegal when the land was taken after Israel was invaded and is now held by a very powerful army?
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.
I just tried the peanut butter thing. DUDE!!
Robert Gallagher haha dooooood
Robert Gallagher I agree! DUDE! Those suckers are awesome!!
Robert Gallagher love them with almond butter in but I’ve never tried them with peanut butter - yet 😉
Try adding peanut butter and rolling it in sugar and cooling them in the fridge!
Dates and pecan nuts eaten together are amazing! 🤩
Can you make a video about Broccoli, thanks
Yup!
@@Simnettnutrition Thanks, looking forward
Huni Salloum Check out tv programme called 'Superfoods' Spirulina, Broccoli, Quinoa. There's a great segment about broccoli soup. It's AMAZING!. It's available on youtube.

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 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 😋💚
I'm from date country, and have never seen someone as enthusiastic about them as you xd
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.
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!
Y’all are too funny in the comment with this “DATE”..Derek you started it bro, great video though. 🙌🏽👍🏽❣️❣️🌱🌱🌱🌱
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!
Dates make me go poopies, taste yummy, and make me feel good.
Sold
Man I tried dates on celery with peanut butter last night and it blew my mind!
I'm really enjoying this series. I like to have dates on toast with tofutti cream cheese & cinnamon on top 😋
Mel Rox this sounds deadly... I might try it haha
I chop them up into tiny pieces and use them in my cocoyo, with berries, hemp, maca, and coconut, and kiwis skin on
I have eaten chocolate pretty much every day of my life, I love it. This has had to come to a screeching halt after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (surprise surprise). I have turned to these sweet little poop shape morsels to satisfy my sugar craving. I have found they do not have any affect on my blood sugars, now the only problem I have is stopping myself from eating too many. I eat 5 as my mid morning snack and a few more as my dessert after dinner - and no, they are not affecting my toileting frequency or urgency. If only I had been given dates as a treat when I was child instead of my beloved chocky.
dont have too much bro, u might get an overdose on potassium, and no one wants that
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!
Dates are amazing!
I have a crazy sweet tooth, and when I first embarked on a wfpb diet dates were like candy to me! I actually was raised in a Muslim home and never used to eat them when I broke my fast cause they looked disgusting lol. Nowadays I'd be hard pressed to go a full week without a couple medjool dates. Definitely a must for vegan desserts.
Makes sense that something so old is able to fight against something like cancer which is relatively young
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🍬🍬🍬🍬
Mmm, that is such a great idea!
After this video i bet he had a date with the toilet lol 😂
How is the meditation practice going? Love the video, moving to the island soon and can't wait, much love!
Not great to be honest! I am trying my best though :)
I just eat like 20 of them and took the biggest dump of my life, literally had to do a double take at the size of it wow
🤣😂
Dates are very addicting 😍😍😍
And did you watch triple frontier movie? I though you acted 😂
You look so similar to that actor
Ah, Derek, I've been really enjoying your videos and have just subscribed, but... I'm not happy with this one. My main complaint is that you must know the difference between glycemic index (a theoretical construct) and glycemic load (which is more reflective of the amount of carb actually consumed in a serving). Dates have a GL score of 18, which is moderately high, compared for example to oranges and watermelon, which are both at 4. And the fact that there are 60 to 70 calories in one medjool date is a negative thing for anybody who struggles with obesity. Kind of like almonds, they are a highly nutritious food that, for those of us who aren't lean and fit, do need to be somewhat restricted because of their caloric density. But no question, they are an awesome substitute for sugar in smoothies, sauces, and even in baking! (I have an awesome recipe for black bean brownies that uses dates for the sweetener, and per brownie there are 4 grams each of protein and fibre... but 100 calories, too.) BTW, my favourite way of eating dates is to dip them in tahini -- I like the bitter and the sweet together.
The best we have in Sri Lanka is Khenaizi dates.
I've eaten only dates, as a much as I could, for 4 days. I lost 1,5 kilo. I was doing almost no physical activities and I was chilling at home. But if did move more I might have lost more weight.
Anyway you will not gain weight eating dates. If anything you will lose weight.
While watching this video I at 13 dates. Haha. I was hungry, so perfect for a snack ☺
I luv ya Derek. Please make a vid about broccoli if possible. Thanks doood
Ray Murphy haha dooood 😂 I like that
Broccoli is a modern man made frankenfood that is extremely hard on the gut and full of toxic compounds. Something to avoid.
@@NeilAC78 yeah, I guess daddy Sv3ridge told you that lol. Care to produce any actual evidence that brocoli is bad for you? lmao 😂
@@tedcoombs7762 Yep, pretty much every ex vegan who have had their guts destroyed by eating such garbage.
Sulforaphane city. Especially broccoli sprouts.
Lettuce n dates yuk.. then the cucumber date sandwich!! Whatttt??? I love your content hun and your tips, but the cue sandwich 🤮 but u like it and that’s all that matters, thanks for tip 🙏🏼😆 have subbed ❤️
Dates and shredded coconut thrown in the food processor and make small energy balls or logs for bike rides or hiking.👌
Plant Powered Health feed me some dates and coconut and I’ll make you some nice logs
I had to check if this video came out on April 1st.. the first half is all good.. but then things get weird when you combine dates with celery, lettuce and cucumber.
There's one thing I think you should have mentioned though. Date production uses gases instead of pesticide. The downside is that the more commonly used one destroys the ozone layer. The organic gas is CO2 and we know what that does to our climate.
Wow dates are really packed with goodness! I heard that they also contain a fair amounto of iron.
When all the dates exploded XD
At 277 calories per 100 grams (per cronometer), definitely don't go with dates if you gain weight easily or are trying to lose weight.
one chopped date and one chopped pecan rolled up, pecan pie without the grain, sugar, oil, cooking, and cleaning.
turbine yes I love this! And you can add cacao powder or pumpkin spice blend to switch up the pie flavors!
Fresh dates will blow your mind, they are crispy and sweet, light caramel flavour
0:18 happens to me every time
DANG!
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.
Love this series. Now I gotta refill my medjol date jar.
Not good idea to present dates as poop. Or not so great looking ways to eat it like with lettuce or cucumber. When something is good to health the job of communicators is to present them properly. Hope my humble opinions helps you. Congratulations for your work and good luck
I wonder if dates could help me quit processed sugar🤔
I have not tried it yet, but I know some people use Date Sugar instead of processed sugar. Also, I've been wanting to try Coconut sugar.
@@l-bird Coconut sugar is really good!
@@RazzleDazzleVegan Thanks, I can't wait to try it. Happy Easter.
@Nicky J since I got braces Ive dropped candy and eaten at least a 2 bags of dates in a few days. Definitley help (and craving them is a good indicator of when my iron is low)
@Nicky J thanks, yeah I think I was just craving the potassium for my iron, i didnt realize I wasnt drinking much plant milk with b12 and vitamin D or taking tablets, it was a learning moment.
for angone trying the dates with peanut butter, i highly reccomend putting some cacao nibs in the peanut butter! hapy eating everyone!
Yes!
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.
13:00 yaayy it’s called ´´nabidh’´ it’s like a date juice or syrup and the Prophet peace upon him used to do that, very common at his time.
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! 😊
Raise your Hand if you are Muslim and love dates❤🖐
I am excited and inspired, thank you for all you do!
Great! That's the idea!
Dates = high oxalates. Peanut butter = high oxalates. So I wouldn't say that combining them is a match made in heaven. As far as health goes, it is a match made in hell.
Along with eating dates whole or halves, I also use Date Syrup. So yummy on oats and salads! :)
You may want to consider ordering from The Date People in California. Raw dates are fabulous, soft and addictive so eat with care and intention. Call Jamie and this is harvest time. I order a 15 lb box once a year and follow storage instructions. My only sweetener in my WFPB regime.
Great job on your video!
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.
I know what im gonna say is due to dates but i needed to say this. In my family all males end up being allergic to apricots yet females are fine. We were told its due to the cyanide in the stones
How many dates did you consume making this video? :)
I live in middle east, I eat 3 to 7 dried dates usually With cup of milk or cup of arabian coffee. And for the fresh dates I really don't like it because its taste is little bit harsh and not sweet like the dried dates.
I've started putting a few dates in my smoothies thanks to your videos...
How many is safe to eat, I'm trying to loose weight do they make you fat for all the sugar they have??
Here is one from you'll love:
- 1 cup of cashews
- 1 cup of dates
- 1/2 cup of veg milk
- 1/2 of carob powder
MIX and you are welcome
My daughter loves dates . Thanks for all the info ❤
