Delicate, flavorful and nutrient-rich, Deglet Nour dates are a nutritional treasure trove renowned for their slightly firm texture, subtle sweetness and many benefits for the body and mind. In the Arab world, these dates are valued not only for their pleasant taste, but also for their effects on heart health, skin and energy balance.
A single fruit hides a precious blend of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, making Deglet Nour the perfect snack for both those concerned with balanced nutrition and gourmets looking for clean, natural and sophisticated alternatives.
Deglet Nour – an impressive source of nutrients
If there were a list of underrated superfoods, Deglet Nour dates would be at the top. Although often overlooked in favor of the famous Medjool, these golden dates stand out for their perfect balance of sweetness and nutritional benefits.
One hundred grams of Deglet Nour dates contains:
- 296 kcal – a quick source of energy, but without harmful fats
- 66 g carbohydrates – energy released gradually, without sudden fluctuations in blood sugar
- 7.3 g fiber – essential for digestion and cholesterol regulation
- 2 g protein – a valuable plant source
- 40.9 g of natural sugars – a healthy substitute for processed sweets
Unlike refined sugar, the sugars in Deglet Nour are mostly invert sugars (glucose and fructose in almost equal proportions), which makes them easily digestible and a constant source of energy, without sudden drops in blood sugar.
A real mineral mine
Deglet Nour dates are often described as "a nutrient mine", due to their high concentration of minerals essential for the proper functioning of the body:
- Potassium (650 mg/100 g) – more than in bananas, regulates blood pressure and supports muscle activity
- Calcium (65 mg/100 g) – helps with bone and tooth health
- Magnesium (50 mg/100 g) – essential for the nervous system, muscle relaxation and reducing inflammation
- Iron (1.9 mg/100 g) – supports cell oxygenation and combats fatigue
- Zinc (0.3 mg/100 g) – contributes to cell regeneration and strengthens the immune system
These minerals are vital for the body's electrolyte balance, helping to maintain hydration and the proper functioning of internal organs.
Vitamins for beauty and well-being
Deglet Nour are not only a source of energy and vitality, but also a reliable ally of natural beauty.
- Vitamins B1, B2 and B6 – support energy metabolism, improve cognitive functions and reduce fatigue
- Vitamin A and Beta-carotene – keep the skin hydrated, protect eyesight and combat the effects of free radicals
- Vitamin C – stimulates collagen production and strengthens the immune system
- Vitamin E – powerful antioxidant, protects cells against premature aging
Thanks to this combination of nutrients, Deglet Nour dates are a natural supplement for a radiant complexion, healthy hair, and strong nails.
A secret to peaceful sleep and relaxation
Deglet Nour contains tryptophan , an essential amino acid that contributes to the production of serotonin – the happiness hormone. When serotonin is synthesized in the body, it helps regulate mood, and later, it is converted into melatonin , the hormone responsible for restful sleep.
A snack of 2-3 dates before bed can help with relaxation and deeper sleep, being a natural remedy for those experiencing mild insomnia.
Deglet Nour – the refined taste of balance
Less sweet than Medjool but more refined in flavor, Deglet Nour dates are versatility incarnate. They can be enjoyed on their own, combined with nuts and seeds, or incorporated into sophisticated dishes – from crunchy granola to fine desserts and gourmet sauces.
These golden dates are not only a healthy snack, but also a refined experience. With exceptional nutritional content and a smooth texture, they are perfect for women who want a balance between pleasure and real health benefits.
