All varieties of dates are very rich in carbohydrates, unsaturated fatty acids, protein and fibre. Dates also contain 15 different minerals and vitamins C, B1, B2, and A. Dates contain more than 10 elements that are vital for the human body to stay healthy and fit. Today scientists state that humans can live for years only on dates and water for this reason.
