Dates are the delicious fruit grown from the date palm (Phoenix dactylifera). Date palms are native to the Persian Gulf area of the Middle East. There are hundreds of date palm cultivars available. In addition, dates have other health benefits, such as being high in fiber, potassium, iron, B vitamins, and many other nutrients.
