Dates are one of the world's most complete foods. They contain carbohydrates; fat; protein; vitamins A, B, D, and G; and the minerals iron, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, and copper. Their sugars are not acid forming and they have enough fiber to provide needed roughage. To the bedouins of the Arabia Peninsula, dates are truly a miracle food. It is no wonder they call them the "bread of the desert."
