Dates are sweet, chewy fruits from the date palm tree, typically brown or reddish in color. They have a soft, caramel-like texture and a single pit inside. Common varieties include Medjool, Deglet Noor, and Barhi. Dates are rich in natural sugars, fiber, and essential nutrients like potassium and magnesium. They are enjoyed as snacks or used in cooking, baking, and traditional dishes.
