In past several years, dates are my favorite healthy snack---7 or 8 daily average. At age 85 my health is good. Prostate is Ok. No diabetes. My memory is clear.
I'm so glad to hear that dates are so healthy. I mix two to three dates with one cup of walnuts and I make walnut milk in a nut milk machine. I drink that for breakfast. Sometimes I will put a tablespoon of dark chocolate in it too. It's so good Thank you 👍
I absolutely love dates! My favorite that I have tried are medjool dates however I must admit that my exposure to varieties is relatively limited. But so far I have yet to find one as good as the medjool.
I make a date paste with noor dates - the cheaper variety. The medjool are about two dollars more a pound. Unless you're eating them out of hand, I defy anyone to tell the difference between noor and medjool dates. Also, the noor dates are pitted, while the mejool aren't - one lestt thing to fool with. Actually i've always found dates a bit boring compared to other dried fruits, like apricots and figs or raisins.
Noor dates are different and delicious too (more mellow caramelly IMO) as long as they're good quality soft ones, otherwise they can be a bit woody textured. Medjools are definitely the kings
I am addicted to them- since cutting out sugar, this also includes all man-made artificial sweeteners like xylitol, etc.; I eat dates or honey when seeking out the sweetness. I use dates in my baking instead of sugar. They are delicious- I may eat 5-10 a day as a snack.
Oh dude!. I felt guilty for eating an 11lb box of dates in 3 weeks. But not anymore. I’m off to get another 11 lb box of medjool . Thanks for the great video man! I love them before I workout. And include them in other recipes.
Yes, barhi dates are my favorite too ! It’s excellent as fresh yellow , we call it khalal in our Kuwaiti Dialect ! They also extremely good when they are soft & syrupy , we call it rutap ! As a dried dates they are really good but it’s has an asthmatic deficit, the thin skin will separate from the fruit meat ! Otherwise it’s no less than the premium quality!
I live in saudi and buy a pack of safawi dates per week because I don’t eat sugar at all. You should try feta stuffed dates or nuts stuffed in dates. Or dates with a little bit of salty peanut butter. Here we have a great cake with date filling called kleija ! great with tea or coffee
I was born in Egypt and had several varieties of Dates. My favourite is the fresh Black Date that is available during August/September. After purchase,it has to be eaten within a few days,otherwise it goes OFF.
Literally my favorite food. I can attest to the pregnancy thing. I just had a home birth with my first child and everything went exceptionally well. Of course, I did other things, but I'm sure the dates played a part.
Thank you so much for this information! I love dates and now won’t worry if I eat more than one or two, though they are so sweet that more than four is too much for me. 😊. Great video, well done!
I love all varieties of dates, but especially medjools. They're too rich to eat more than 1-3 at a time but YUM!!! Was raised on deglet noors and they're great too. Just bought some zahidis. Tiny little things and easy to eat a handful. Never had blood sugar issues with dates. Love to go to growers in Indio/Thermal and sample all varieties. In Feb they have the county fair/date festival. Yummy fun! Date puree is great on biscuits/toast...Stuffed dates with nuts/coconut are an easy dessert. Mom used to chop dates for hot cereal and that was a great combo. Hard lesson: dates can ferment/sugar if left out too long. Keep in frig/freezer or seal tightly in jars with such as pump-n-seal to preserve freshness. Blond and brunette dates are especially good. Khadrawi, halawi also.
Thank you for this really great video. I LOVE dates and eat one before going to work each afternoon. I love to offer them to my grandchildren who often ask if I will stuff them with butter or peanut butter. They taste like caramel when pared with the rich grass fed butter.
Too good to be true. I eat dates everyday to replace sugar but still get constipation, high BP, gout, stroke, eye problem, high cholesterol and bell palsy.
High blood pressure my was 144 took 1-glycinate magnesium with 2 vitiam D3 at night 1 hr before bed. It is 120 now. Cholesterol-2 whole lemons cleaned well and 4-dates with 16 oz of water and blend. I only did this drink 3 times and it dropped my total Cholesterol by 12 points. I have 29 points to go. I went and bought a vitamix and it blends everything smooth. My ninja wasn't blending it very well. I hope this helps.
Can you make a video on varieties of dates and their benefits? like which is preferred for kids, adults or for which issues which variety is beneficial and so on? thank you 😊
Lord Jesus don't let us drift too far away from you. Keep us mindful of our choices and their consequences. Keep us in the flow of your love. Let us grow in your grace, truth and loving kindness.🙏 🙏
I feel like medjool dates are so underrated. People with a sweet tooth could easily replace their candy cravings with medjools and be perfectly satisfied. One of my favorite foods ever
@@SamuelBlackMetalRider I'm just getting into dates and found a bag at Aldi's. Costly, yes, but most really good foods are. As I replace junk for the good stuff (avocado, kalmatta olives, etc) I find the cost balances out.
Majdool, ajwa, dhoka, is one he described turn plain yellow then syrup will wet yellow colour. Khudari, Aranian, Majdool from Moroco and Palestinian are very different. Nearly 100 variety.
Yeah I've been on a date kick for like 10 years. Love jumbo Medjools of course, who wouldn't. Some less common ones I've enjoyed are Aseels from Pakistan and Safawi from Saudi Arabia. Barhi and Honey are also very enjoyable.
As a Muslim, I'm used to eating dates since childhood but as our Prophet Mohammed, PBIH, never eat more than 3 dates per day. I also break fast on them, just one or three.
Actually according to Sahih al-Bulhari 5445 Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "He who eats seven 'Ajwa dates every morning, will not be affected by poison or magic on the day he eats them." So Muhammad actually said to eat 7 dates a day.
@@NatsFan18 That's the "problem" . I find them "more-ish" and it's difficult to resist more than a few each day. But then what, health-wise, if any, might be too many? Might it depend on one's physical dimensions and general diet etc. unless there is an obvious outcome (no pun intended) in terms of the digestive process?
Iraq is known as the "country of 30 million palm trees", and home to 600 varieties . Iraq, produce around 615 thousand tons of dates per year . The most common date types are Amir Hajj, Dayri and Khastawi.
I once had eating three dates before starting fasting and also eating three dates to break the fast. I felt extremely good. My body felt lighter that night. From this experience, I knew that my body can cope with consuming dates only whenever I want to do intermittent fasting and to reduce food intake.
I hate dates but heard they fight cancer so I use them as a sweetner in my morning anticancer smoothie. It has a lot of tastes I hate like broccoli sprouts, kale, medicinal mushrooms, amla, matcha, etc.
Hi, Thanks. Please, clarify which of the researchers named the palm-tree date type: Ajwah, Khlaass, Khodary, Sukkary, Majdool, etc. Dates represent the healthiest fruit, but their nutritional effects are different. E.g.: My wife watched a lab technician testing Sukkary dates live on a diabetic patient and the conclusion was that three should be the maximum daily intake. I attended a medical conference and one of the professors presented a research comparing 10 different palm-tree date types and concluded that Ajwah is the best with seven to be taken daily.
Medjool --- was any blood sugar research ever done on the Medjool? I would like to know about that since Medjool is the Queen of Dates to me, but also seems the sweetest. It is easy to find also where I live.
A church minister from the Middle East once said that, from the time they are picked from the tree, dates can be stored for up to 9 years! Nine years! Amazing.
"And the pangs of childbirth drove her unto the trunk of the palm-tree. She said: 'Oh, would that I had died ere this and had become a thing of naught, forgotten!' Then she heard the baby saying, 'Do not be sad. Your Lord has caused a stream to run at your feet and shake the trunk of this palm tree it will drop fresh ripe dates upon you. So eat and drink and be consoled.'" Quran | Chapter 19 (Mary) | verses 23-26 "Break your fast by eating dates as it is purifying." Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
Love Dates! So far Medjool is my favorite but would look forward to tasting those you just mentioned. Thanks for the share! Would you say that Date Sugar is healthful? This sugar showed up in my local grocery store one year and since has disappeared. You can find coconut sugar but date sugar is not available. Long for it though.
GOD SAID IT WAS GOOD 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Genesis 1:9-13 The Third Day: Dry Ground 9And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. 10And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. 11And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 12And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 13And the evening and the morning were the third day.
This is all was mentioned in islam. The benefits of dates for pregnant women. And it's an Islamic traditions to eat dates in odd numbers (1, 3, 5 or 7) .. Palestinian dates are the best, I also liked the Madina dates
Yep, dates are great - I'm an avid daily date eater (they will keep you regular too :) ). I'm on a very lo-carb diet, dates & blueberries are the only sweet things I will eat. They are also great pureed and blended with unsweetened yoghurt and some coconut. I'm not diabetic, I just don't function well with lots of carbs in my diet, especially from wheat. However, I'm not placing much stock in your cited stats. I want to know are those percentages 'relative' or 'absolute'? Additionally, as correlation isn't causation, were there confounding factors taken into account? BTW, humans are absolutely not fructivores.. Humans are Facultative Carnivores. (Have you ever seen any cave paintings of fruit or vegetables?) Nice video presentation too. Thanks 👍🏻
Glycaemic index is a fixed value for a given item of food, it does not reflect a person's blood sugar level - there appears to be an error in your reporting ("...after eating 7-10...").
We Muslims know it too well... dates are among the top super foods our Creator bless us with. 3 a day may be the perfect amount. Great channel, God bless!
I love dates as of a couple months ago. Trying many different varieties right now. I find it odd though, that if I eat too many at a time, I can tell my blood sugar is getting elevated and I’m not diabetic. I have gastritis at the moment but I don’t see how that would relate much.
You eat a ridiculous amount of dates? How many? I'm curious.... By the way, try Sukkari Rutab dates if you can get your hands on them - so sweet and delicious.
In past several years, dates are my favorite healthy snack---7 or 8 daily average.
At age 85 my health is good. Prostate is Ok. No diabetes. My memory is clear.
Wow Paul that is good news. Congratulations. All the best. Blessings to you.
Fantastic! Great for you, dear sir!

Very true , I ate dates when I was pregnant and it was my 1st pregnancy and my labor was very smooth 👌
Glad to hear it.
Yes thas true dates and milk every night make easy labor

Omg me too and its too sweet
MashaAllah We love our dates as Muslims it's a part of our every day . My favorite dates are the ajwal dates. Bismillah
They're not you dates as Muslims.
Dates were grown in north Africa before your cult was invented.
I am addicted to them- since cutting out sugar, this also includes all man-made artificial sweeteners like xylitol, etc.; I eat dates or honey when seeking out the sweetness. I use dates in my baking instead of sugar. They are delicious- I may eat 5-10 a day as a snack.
I'm just getting into dates. Do you eat them fresh or dried. I find dried very sweet.
Have you heard of fructose in dates or honey? It's still sugar, just your liver is taking the blunt now.
I love dates, I eat like 10 dates daily with natural peanut butter or almond butter. Perfect combination.
fr
10 a day with cashews or mixed nuts...delicious 😋
Oh dude!. I felt guilty for eating an 11lb box of dates in 3 weeks. But not anymore. I’m off to get another 11 lb box of medjool . Thanks for the great video man! I love them before I workout. And include them in other recipes.
How much was that 11lb box?
Yea u just made me not feel guilty anymore too.💯
I eat a 5 pound box in a week!
Deglet Nours and raw pecans my favorite snack ever
Yes, barhi dates are my favorite too !
It’s excellent as fresh yellow , we call it khalal in our Kuwaiti Dialect !
They also extremely good when they are soft & syrupy , we call it rutap !
As a dried dates they are really good but it’s has an asthmatic deficit, the thin skin will separate from the fruit meat ! Otherwise it’s no less than the premium quality!
@Mohammad Aluthainah, Salaam, I am an Indian immigrant living in Boston, U.S.A. Where can one buy "barhi dates? shukria. Khuda Hafiz.
Thanks brother! Love all the work and info you put it in
Thank you. We enjoy it.
Medjool dates are delicious. Now you got me wanting to try other types!
You are an awesome hype man for dates. The way you describe the dates, I feel like I have been missing out…
I live in saudi and buy a pack of safawi dates per week because I don’t eat sugar at all. You should try feta stuffed dates or nuts stuffed in dates. Or dates with a little bit of salty peanut butter. Here we have a great cake with date filling called kleija ! great with tea or coffee
My favourite is the Zamli date here in sunny South Africa😊Mehjool is also fantastic.
I was born in Egypt and had several varieties of Dates. My favourite is the fresh Black Date that is available during August/September. After purchase,it has to be eaten within a few days,otherwise it goes OFF.
Medjol dates are the ones I often find in the stores here but I love dates no matter their brand!!
Literally my favorite food. I can attest to the pregnancy thing. I just had a home birth with my first child and everything went exceptionally well. Of course, I did other things, but I'm sure the dates played a part.

Interesting. It is difficult to find dates without sugar and/or sulfur here in the Philippines, but I do enjoy them.
I love all varieties of dates, but especially medjools. They're too rich to eat more than 1-3 at a time but YUM!!! Was raised on deglet noors and they're great too. Just bought some zahidis.

I'm a diabetic but love dates thanks so much inshallah 😊
My favourite date variety is medjool. Delicious!
Love dates we get medjool dates here. In Australia from Israel l buy the organic so good 😊 your explaining the dates was very interesting thanks 🙏
Thank you for this really great video. I LOVE dates and eat one before going to work each afternoon. I love to offer them to my grandchildren who often ask if I will stuff them with butter or peanut butter. They taste like caramel when pared with the rich grass fed butter.
Best to stuff them pistachio and almond. Or pistachio and butter with green cardamoms powder.
I love dates but have been worried about eating too many so thanks for presenting this research
Too good to be true. I eat dates everyday to replace sugar but still get constipation, high BP, gout, stroke, eye problem, high cholesterol and bell palsy.

To me Deglet Noor are the best. Smaller, less sweet, not as rich, but tastes of sweet honey. I see why they're called the Queen of Dates.
They are the perfect snack to eat before a run and during if your going the distance .
Can you make a video on varieties of dates and their benefits? like which is preferred for kids, adults or for which issues which variety is beneficial and so on? thank you 😊
Madina Dates markete Suadi Arabia does it.
I love dates!
Have it everyday!
But my favorite fruit is the cocoa pods back in Brasil!
Are you referring to what chocolate comes from?
Yup ! That's the one! It grows beautifully in the rain forest in the Brazilian northeast, near beautiful beaches!
Nice video sir !!
Thaks for all the info, and God Bless You Too 🙏
Thank you, God bless.

3 majdool dates with cup of goat milk. Meal is complete.
7 Ajwa dates and glass of goat milk, beautiful meal.
I eat dates daily, and I love them.
As a Muslim, I'm used to eating dates since childhood but as our Prophet Mohammed, PBIH, never eat more than 3 dates per day. I also break fast on them, just one or three.
It’s advised to be individual number -3-5-7 etc
I often eat more than that per day but I'm old enough and big enough to accommodate them IMHO 🙂
Actually according to Sahih al-Bulhari 5445 Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "He who eats seven 'Ajwa dates every morning, will not be affected by poison or magic on the day he eats them."

You are welcome.
I eat dates as a sweetener in salad dressings or as a sweetener for rhubarb.
I eat fresh Medjool dates when having a diabetic “low” of blood sugar. Good result.
I love the way Americans say the L in palm
We say "Parm" like that in the UK 🇬🇧

wow the one i am buy ing is from cA some time they are too hard to eat
@@manoramareddy4662 I soak seedless dates 24 hours in the fridge before eating them or using them in smoothies. The soaking water gets sweet too.
Dates have high potassium, & is important for health. As well as most diabetics have low potassium levels.
Good news!🙏🏻
I made date squares today, I love dates thank you

Medjool without any doubt, superlative
Hi, thank you ☺️ I’m going to buy plenty of dates next time I go grocery shopping.
I don’t blame you. I bought 45 pounds last week. Mmm.
Check in Sam Cobbs farm, you gonna get more
I hate dates but heard they fight cancer so I use them as a sweetner in my morning anticancer smoothie. It has a lot of tastes I hate like broccoli sprouts, kale, medicinal mushrooms, amla, matcha, etc.
Wonderful dates but we should try and eat it moderately 😊...because of sugar blood levels
Love to make moms date bars at christmas,plus eat 4 dates a day.
Really interesting, I love dates
Date milk is hands down the best milk too I so love dates
We have thrown a few dates in a blender with a hand full of nuts and water and it makes a great milk. Blessings.

Dates help with digestion and constipation and weight loss ......but only 3 per day
Medjool --- was any blood sugar research ever done on the Medjool? I would like to know about that since Medjool is the Queen of Dates to me, but also seems the sweetest. It is easy to find also where I live.
Medjoul is my fab date of course😊
Israeli medjool dates are my favorites… 1 to 3 a day, yum
I love these two, too
2 to 3 dates a day enough to get all the benefits..?
A super beneficial one to all age, Easy to carry, as dried fruits😋
Thanks. I love dates.
My favorite is majdool dates ❤
I love Medjool dates
Thanks for sharing!
Sukkari! Best so far! 🤤
Prophet Mohamad gold to eat 7 dates everyday!
And in Coran when Maryam was delivering God told her to eat dates to help her
Thank you

Have you ever seen a fat person who eats a lot of fruit. I haven’t, you are so right
I start eating 7 dates in morning and 7 dates in evening. I feel very strong and no more tiredness.
I'm off to the fridge where we have a large box of dates!
Love ti!1 Dates are so good. You are correct. Frugivores all the way.
"And the pangs of childbirth drove her unto the trunk of the palm-tree. She said: 'Oh, would that I had died ere this and had become a thing of naught, forgotten!'

"Break your fast by eating dates as it is purifying." Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
The 2 types of dates he mentioned 'Hallawey' and 'Barhey' are ubiquitous in my hometown where I grew up

This sugar showed up in my local grocery store one year and since has disappeared. You can find coconut sugar but date sugar is not available. Long for it though.
Does dates related to coconuts?
Buy date sugar off the internet, no need to wait on a store to stock it.

I just don’t like the taste of dates at all but I mix them in energy bites with other things that way I can consume them
I love medjool dates
My favorite dates are the Khadrawi and Medjool.
Those are some of my wife’s favorite. We have some at home right now.
Thank you much for your information. How about Medjool dates? Thank again, Mary Jo
Medjool are the most popular. I do like them but I enjoy others like Bahri better. But you can always find medjool.
My friend what specific brand do you recommend?
They taste like candy, they are sweet as sugar. I love them.
Glycaemic index is a fixed value for a given item of food, it does not reflect a person's blood sugar level - there appears to be an error in your reporting ("...after eating 7-10...").
I'd consider having dates but I don't think my wife would go for it. 😊
Could it be the type of dates your talking about that she would object to??
You can have many, many dates... But no dates...🙃
We Muslims know it too well... dates are among the top super foods our Creator bless us with.
3 a day may be the perfect amount.
Great channel, God bless!
I love dates as of a couple months ago. Trying many different varieties right now. I find it odd though, that if I eat too many at a time, I can tell my blood sugar is getting elevated and I’m not diabetic. I have gastritis at the moment but I don’t see how that would relate much.
So how many should I eat daily?
How to find out if it is been treated with sulphur?
You eat a ridiculous amount of dates? How many? I'm curious.... By the way, try Sukkari Rutab dates if you can get your hands on them - so sweet and delicious.
....or try Zamli dates.
Binged on 12 dates watching this video.
