Fresh Date (USA) 1Kg

The date is a mainstay of the Arab diet, particularly among those who dwell in the desert. Extremely high in sugar – up to 70 percent of its weight – the fruit is a good source of protein as well as vitamins A and B.  Unlike many fruits, dates are already intensely sweet when harvested, and their high sugar content makes them self-preserving and extremely long lasting.
