DID YOU KNOW?

Dates are a fruit that come from the Date Palm Tree which is referred to by some as the “tree of life”. Dates contain a high amount of fiber, potassium and b-vitamins. They are also full of easily digestible carbohydrates. Dates contain powerful antioxidants, making them great for the immune system as well as aiding the body in fighting cancer. You can find Medjool dates at Costco, many health foods stores or order them online.
