Hey everyone! I just wanted to correct myself!
In the video I said dates have more protein per calorie than many other fruits, but what I meant to say was PER GRAM!
Sorry for the confusion!
Thanks dude!
Sir, please make a detailed video on protein intake to build muscle or lose fat scientifically.
Could that be because they´re dried and therefore concentrated? How would they compare to other dried fruits?
Thanks Derek, I'm loving these videos about the benefits of certain foods, very interesting ☺ 🌱
One tip everyone needs to know before eating a date. Cut/open lengthwise, remove pit, and INSPECT the inside. Some dates have an ant/small insect inside. Make sure to clean the inside before eating the date. Also, Sukkary means 'sugary;' this is the name of that specific kind because it's so sweet (as if date isn't sweet as is lol).
To me Fresh dates taste sweeter than the dried ones. I am originally from Iraq and we had a date tree in our backyard lol
me too! But which ones?
That must of been awesome!
amazing. I have never tried a fresh date before!
Phitzee not sure tbh I was a kid back then, but in Iraq Barhee dates are the most common so it could be that one.
Simnett Nutrition I think you can find fresh dates in California, maybe on your next trip to the US you’ll get to try it!
He's probably my favourite nutritionist he talks about history, culture and food so respectfully and knowledge. I just love it
Thank you for sure a kind comment!
I actually stop sugar, bread, coffee, dairy and 0 gluten, my only way when I am really really craving sugar, I have 2 dates and that's it! heart and soul are happy! Thank you so so much for sharing!
These dates are the only dates I'm currently having 😂
Phitzee hahah
@@bosnianphysique8207 haha!
@Nicky J at least im not the only one 😂 no complaints either haha
Omg, hahahaha
🤗😝
45 years old and from Denmark. I had never tasted a date before watching several of your videos. Bought a box today and just had 4 of them. Yum yum :) They really are candy.
Wow
Cut them into pieces and add mixed nuts
I love eating them frozen 😋
@@leeillman4983 yep, very good idea. I do everyday with nuts and dark 90 % chocolate. Delicious 😋
try to eat the persian or ajwadates, or maybe the majdoul dates, they will be a real treat.
I went to a date festival in Qatar. I never knew there were so many varieties. I've also never tasted anything as good in my life as a fresh date.
You need to try the date with peanut butter, walnuts on top, and cinnamon !!!!! Just made that combo the other day and it’s AMAZiNG!!!!!!
A good date recipe!: Blend up soaked dates with water until it has a maple-syrup texture. Mix it into some oats (and nuts and seeds if you want) and bake at 400 degrees F for 10-15 minutes. Healthy homemade granola!!!
What a fantastic idea.. brilliant... I’m on that today ❤️👍🏼❤️❤️❤️
Great for a breakfast bar... I don’t like milk yuk, don’t like alternatives, breakfast bars in shops not great and hidden extras added.. just have to make a good batch .. thank you
Except for granola needs to be cooked longer than most know in order for it not to be hard to digest. And if you do not get the organic oatmeal, you only get round up in your oatmeal... Which is very unhealthy. Organic oats have less round up spray.. Rinse before cooking and cook one hour.
Brilliant idea ❤❤❤
Thank you for this!
If there's anything a single vegan could use, it's a date.
;)
LOL I see what you did there..
Desert vegan
I was going to write the same 🤣
😄🙌🏾
What an amazing guy. Very well put together video and passionate presenter. I never liked dates more
Yes! What a great idea to select a single food and discuss it. I learned some interesting facts here, and most importantly felt better about using dates. Looking forward to the others in this series.
Today I bought fresh mazafati dates from the Turkish supermarket in our area and it is the most delicious fruit I've ever tasted! Seriously, they are like baklava soaked in sugar syrup and flavoured with rose water, I can't believe nature produces something so sweet, creamy, and perfumed.
I have always loved dates originating from date squares and make it several times a year. I have also switched from using honey to date syrup, very versatile and healthy food.
Brilliant series on food! I love this kind of learning. It’s so encouraging to have the info to support WFPB eating. Thanks so much for all you do! (And a big shout out to Crystal!)
Thank you for the holistic history of this awesome food!!! I love learning about all of the aspects of what I’m eating from history to health and nutrition content.
This is excellent! Thank you for this! Why are people giving these videos a thumbs down? Rude!!! Thank you so much for these videos!
Love dates! My mom always makes date paste (blend pitted medjool dates with as much hot water as needed to reach desired consistency) and uses it in place of jam on sandwiches with a variety of nut/seed butters!
Love this vid bro. You always give practical examples without being too fancy. We all aren't pro chefs so it is helpful man. Keep growing man!
Been loving your videos! Thanks for helping to make this a healthier world. 👍
My favorite way to eat dates is...daily. I had absolutely no regrets walking out of the store with my 11 lb box of dates. My wife was not surprised at all.
I have been watching for a couple of years now. You are a huge inspiration to me. Thank you for spreading the good vibes!!
Just in time for Ramadan, starting May 5th or 6th! We always have dates on hand during this time of year.
YEs I read it is very popular to break the fast with
Good info he gave.
@@Simnettnutrition Yes, it was one of prophet Muhammeds(PBUH) favourites.
Thank you for sharing this! Literally started dates in my vegan smoothie because of you! Such a great addition, thanks!
I'm from the Coachella valley/palm springs, love all the date varieties our 2 local establishments provide. From date shakes, Baked goods to assorted gift boxes.
"if you're lookin' for a cheap date..." LOL
K Bel ha ha....good luck with that! You won’t find either version of a “cheap date” in Montreal.
(K Bel) Good clean joke, thought it was hilarious

I LOVE dates right out of the package but adding almonds or cashews really is delicious!
Some suggestions for your amazing foods series: flax, chia, quinoa, berries, mushrooms, grains like farro, freekeh, millet etc...
I can't wait to see what you do next, I'm loving this series & your other videos!
OK! I have been binge watching this series and you have really given me some great ideas and really good information! I am going to make a lot of theses recipes! Thank you. And now back to Binge watching...
Hi i am from Egypt and i had many dates palmtrees in my school xD also i have a friend who comes from the desert part of Egypt ..his grandfather tells stories about the time when people could survive for weeks only on dates and camal milk "because other food supply have to come from the Nile Vally and the roads and preserving tech weren't that advanced"
Question, how to preserve them for long time?
I eat dates everyday. Love them with my morning oats! I also use them to sweeten sauces, like your tahini sauce or another one in which I blend cashews, nutritional yeast, soya milk and dates. This cashews sauce is delicious to eat with pasta or with tempeh 😋💚
Your right about the dressings and sauces. Your recipes for the sauces was a life saver and using the dates in them makes it taste even better. What about miso or jackfruit or persimmoms.
I always enjoy your ideas. I started eating dates more consistently after watching your videos. The way I use them most is I make a date paste by soaking dates overnight (450 grams pitted dates to 3/4 cup water) in a pint mason jar. The next morning I dump the soaked dates and water into a vitamix with 1 T vanilla extract, and purée until smooth. I keep the date paste in the fridge and use a heaping T in my oatmeal, with ground flax, ground chia, homemade macadamia cashew butter, and a splash of unsweetened almond milk. OMG, so amazing.
Definitely love these videos and how passionate you talk about the food, keep going strong!
OMG yes!! Dates with Peanut butter! Thanks for the reminder, I used to eat that a lot and I haven't been feeling like eating any kind of food lately (too stressed due to my masters thesis), but Im totally psyched for dates with peanut butter now!
And dates with celery? sounds interesting, definitely gonna try that tomorrow :)
Lived in Egypt for years and visited many times - Breaking the fast in Ramadan with fresh juicy dates is a gastronomic delight. Back in the UK and it's the dried variety which is a shame but they are still delicious!
Love your videos Derrick! Keep up the passion for food & health! Many Blessings!
Thx for a great tutorial and video - as usual. I love the information and ALL of your recipes!
A few months ago I lost a tooth because there were parts of the pit in a bar made of dates 😣 but I'm still obsessed with them 😍 thank you for making a video about my favourite treat and thank you for all of your high quality content! 😊
I blend my dates with nuts and seeds in a blender and use them as a study snack
Oooooh great idea,I should try that it sounds really tasty :)
Can you share the proportions you use?
Jomale Collier alright patrick bateman.

Not great if your goal is weight maintenance or weight loss...
Derek I’ve loved your content and personality from the early days on! You come off as a passionate and down to Earth guy and I respect your message. While I use a ton of your recipes, I do incorporate fish and meat from a local farm. I appreciate what a lot of guys like Bobby’s Perspective and Drew Morgan are doing too. I’d love to hear you have a discussion with some of these people in that movement.
Really enjoy your videos, funny and very informative. Makes me look at nutrition, food, and my health in a whole different way. Thanks man
Been waiting for this one brother, LOVE IT as always!!!
I am excited and inspired, thank you for all you do!
Great! That's the idea!
I love Medjool Dates! I went to Israel in 1996, and their dates were large & had the BEST taste. But I still love them here in the US, and have bought loads of dates over the years. Love your new ideas! Thanks so much!
Your enthusiasm about food is contagious!
Nature is just amazing. Everything we need is provided for us. ❤
The One who created the nature is THE amazing.
@@Enes-wj5xq Exactly, I can't fathom how people think that nature has brain, when the most obvious is the perfect design of everything for the continuation of life on earth.
The Costco medjool dates are my favorite! Absolutely irresistible with almond butter for sure. Great video!
Alex Picchi Costco medjool dates are deadly! That’s where I get mine as well!
I always eat mine with almond butter 🥰 so delicious! I eat the honey dates and just dip them in the almond butter, yummy! Can't wait to try bacon wrapped dates as well 🤯
A special treat at Christmas time in my family were dates stuffed with oven toasted and then salted almonds. The combination of the sweetness of the date and the salted almond is so delicious!
Another great video as always. Packed with great information. Thank you so much!!! Inspired to try some recipes with dates.
Thanks so much for these awesome videos. We have learned a lot and they are really entertaining.
Thanks Mark!
Dates are definitely one of my favorite fruits - especially the Medjool ones ! In my area, we have access to fresh dates but I personally prefer them dry. :)
Great video, thank you! Very well researched and put together, really appreciate you doing this!
It is always fun watching you. You are very informative. Thanks so much.
Last Christmas I made dates filled with hazelnut and then covered in dark chocolate, a much appreciated treat.
I also use some date syrup, I guess it is not as healthy since all the fiber probably is removed. But it works when I want to make a sauce and don't have or want to use a blender.
I got to try fresh dates at an Indian market in Oklahoma City about 10 years ago. They were crazy good! They were green, the texture was a bit like an apple but more dense, and they were sweet, sweet, sweet. I haven't been able to find them since but I sure wish I could!
Dude I liked your channel before, but now I officially started to love it. So honest, so funny :D Keep it going! :)
I LOVE these videos....have not see this in depth info on nutritional content on any other channel...awesome!!
Just went and tried dates with peanut butter, sooo good! Great easy little pick me up snack!
The best! Great pre workout too :)
This one was especially funny, you crack me up 😂 I’d love to see a vid on -SEEDS-
Dude, I witnessed you grow from 80K to 300K!!! Im so happy for you!
Great ideas here! I hadn’t considered them in celery but definitely use them in my salads often. The three items I try to ensure I always have on hand are dates, olives, & avocados. Gotta get my pre-workout date smoothie now! Later, WFPB genius!
Great video Derek! You're the man
Dates and pecan nuts eaten together are amazing! 🤩
Love dates! I use them to sweeten homemade lemonade. Also love them in Winter Salad with fennel, greens , red onions, and a few green olives.
WOW! I had no idea that dates needed such a hot climate to grow! Fascinating! Thank you for the education 🙏
Along with eating dates whole or halves, I also use Date Syrup. So yummy on oats and salads! :)
I got some fresh/hard dates from Santa Monica farmers' market a few years ago. The vendor told me the fresh/hard dates would become soft and eatable in about 2 weeks. I brought the "branches* with dates on them home and waited about 18 days before the dates ripened and became the soft sweet dates like the ones I generally got in the store.
Was looking for nutritional information about dates and stumbled upon this... First of all I’m Definitely subscribing! Secondly, can’t wait to check out the Vegan content on here! A big thanks & salute from Canada Quebec 👐🏻✨
Just found your channel and I think it is Outstanding! My husband and I were touring Death Valley and they had fresh dates OMG!!!! Thank You for sharing all of your knowledge with us. Hope you have a GREAT Day!
Never ate dates until I started eating plant based. They are so delicious. I can't convince my adult kids to eat them yet they eat sugary stuff and candy. Like you mentioned its like natures candy.
Love dates in salads as mentioned! One of the local burger(plant based) joints serves an arugula salad with dates. Its so tasty.
Thanks for such an informative vid! Keep them coming. This one was awesome!
Dis-sease is caused by acidic foods causing mucus and blockages. Fruits are easy to digest and alkalinizing to the body. However diabetics often need to be treated with fasting before fruiting so that basic systems can begin to recover.
Think of fasting like a cast for a broken bone, only after the bone is set can gentle excercise (eating a fresh fruit diet help)
This all can often trigger detox.
The path back to true health is a journey and not always fun. But oh wow it is worth it.
Thanks for all your great videos Derrick, you have encouraged me to stay the course seeing I'm new to this vegan stuff. (following my big sister) Thanks for all you're information and fun facts, I've learned so much and I love the humor in your videos.😝😝😝
Every since I saw your video with peanut butter and dates on celery. I enjoy that snack all the time! It’s so good
For the last year I have been going through a HUGE spiritual transformation. One of the trickiest things has been to follow the diet that my body is telling me to ingest (vegan). Your channel has been a wonderful eye opener for me while also easing the tension of fully going through with it. Thank you so much and keep em' coming!
Go VEGAN and NO BODY gets hurt !
Did you fully commit yet
Your body wants you to ingest meat
@@zankom417Your body wants you to impose your beliefs on others so you feel less guilty about your shortcomings. Do its bidding, animal.
Fun fact: dates Plus peanuts Plus some gooey Chocolate - tastes exactly like snickers. incredible! I just started falling in love with dates, wow.
Great video cramped with info, I've learnt a thing or 2 about dates I didn't know before, thank you.
I’m a indoor rock climber been checking your videos a lot lately , realized I wasn’t subscribed , I now am and wanted to note your super consistent and factual . Thanks for the great content and I look forward to following yeah for a long time 🤝
I'm really enjoying this series. I like to have dates on toast with tofutti cream cheese & cinnamon on top 😋
Mel Rox this sounds deadly... I might try it haha
I chop them up into tiny pieces and use them in my cocoyo, with berries, hemp, maca, and coconut, and kiwis skin on
Dates with sweet potatoes and raw pecans are my favorite combo. Also, dates with oatmeal and pb are my fave. Or almonds butter.
I try to watch my date intake bc of my poor teeth . Lol
Love this so much! In the 70s my grandma used to give us dates! So good. I am going to find out what kind they were!
I LOVE DATES!!! Was eating some while watching this video. Thanks Derek for all the cool info on them.
I'm really enjoying these amazing food series videos! I
How is the meditation practice going? Love the video, moving to the island soon and can't wait, much love!
Not great to be honest! I am trying my best though :)
Love dates been eating them for years and take them everywhere as you do on all my outdoor adventures, really satisfys my sugar love, all the best.
I never knew about these till watching ur video yesterday. I went and bought some today and made Ur Granola recipe. Thanks! I love them
I've started putting a few dates in my smoothies thanks to your videos...
Dates are amazing!
Fresh dates are to die for!I never had fresh ones till I started living here in the GCC
Before they turn,They are so so crunchy!🤤 Then right after the color changes right from the trees are soooo soft🤤
I just bought some dates for the first time and they're just as good as you said! I can't wait to try them in smoothies and such!
Great series Derek! Loving the history!
Thanks Sam!
No for real thank you! I have been vegan for 5 weeks and your videos have helped motivate and inspire me. Thank you, crystal, and cocoa!
Hey man, loving the content, would like to thank you for inspiring me and because of you I have decided to go vegan, currently 2 weeks in and going well, also starting training but slow going. Once again thanks all the way from Swindon england
Tobias Bowler glad to hear! how’d you get on? still vegan?
I forgot that I had dates in the cabinet till I saw this video. Ran and got the peanut butter too. You're right, Derek! What a flavorful pair. I appreciate the research that goes into these vids. Always look forward to what you share!
Omg I love you!!!
I just found your page
I’m a fellow nutritionist and I LOVE this idea!!!

Thank you!!!! :)
Derek this series is amazing. Keep them coming!
Love this series. Now I gotta refill my medjol date jar.
Ammmaaaaaazing video! And a date/cucumber sandwich? The smartest and the coolest 😍
I add dates into my oatmeal every morning 😍😍 and please do oats next
Oats rock! Go steel cut or go home!
Bob Gunner 🙌🏻🙌🏻
@@bobgunner3086 Steel cut? Thats cute, try soaked raw sprouted groats.
@@RJ-dw4jw that sounds awesome. Where can you get fresh raw oats?
@@bobgunner3086 Bulk Barn, they usually have them organic as well
Love the shirt and just found out about your merch LOL
you are so entertaining to listen to, makes the subject even more interesting thanks for the video
I love the recipes of the celery and cucumber date salad. I was drooling because I eat a lot of cucumbers. Must try it when breaking my fast!
I’ve recently started liking (loving!) dates. The trouble for me is I find it difficult to eat just a serving or two in one sitting… I tend to eat 10-20 of them at a time. I know it’s better to binge on dates than Doritos or ice cream, but 😬.
LOL. You make a habit of binging on anything, you will be 300 lbs in a few years!
