Deglet Noor dates are sometimes called the "Queen of Dates" and have had their pits removed for easy use. Despite being one of the sweetest fruit, high in both sugar and carbohydrates, dates are deliciously nutrient dense and are full of minerals, vitamins, and health-benefiting phytonutrients. They are very easily digested, which allows your body to make full use of their nutrition. They make an excellent whole foods source of sugar to be substitute in any number of dessert recipes, smoothies, and sweet treats.
