I agree that Kurma (Date) is not just a food for breaking fast.The Almetarius Codex Commission has defined dates as products made from palm trees.Palm trees are among the oldest plants grown by humans and their fruits have been used as food in ancient times especially in West Asian countries .In the Quran , dates are mentioned twenty times, of which eight are mentioned separately and twelve are mentioned together with other fruits such as pomegranates, grapes and olive oil.Ib the food industry , dates can be processed into various types of food products including jam , candy , concentrated juices , jelly , oranges and syrup.
In addition , dates also very popular in the manufacture of bread , chocolate, biscuits and can be a core product that can be mixed with coconut and vinegar.However , palm oil and dates coffee are a by-product of dates that can be made from dates.
The best food of a believer's vegetable is palm.(Hadith Sunah Abu Dawud).Scientific studies shown fhar most of the dates is sugar which is from 50% .The simple sugars in dates include glucose, fructose, mannose, maltose, rhaminose and sucrose which are easy to use for rapid energy generation in the human body.
Sugar content in dates depends on the type of dates and naturity but it is generally higher than pomegranates and pineapple.Therefore , the absorption of date sugar in the human body is very fast between 30 & 45 minutes compared to rice which tames about less than 5 hours to digest.So, breaking the fast with the dates can provide immediate energy to the human body while also preventing fatigue.
Consuming dates in your daily diet also prevent constipation, heart disease and lower bad cholesterol. The dates contain a percentage of insoluble fiber and a water content of between 10 and 20%.
Insoluble fiber is very important to aid in the movement of impurities in the human digestive system and can prevent constipation.While, water-soluble fibre is important for preventing heart-disease and preventing the increase of bad cholesterol in the blood.
Scientific studies have shown that dates can prevent anemia, a disease of red blood cells to iron deficiency in foods.Dates contain high iron which is good for people with anemia.The dates also considered a practical supplement for those with iron deficiency as they do not show side effects such as nausea, headache or constipation as they do with iron tablets.Dates are good for pregnant women as well because dates also contain potassium minerals and calcium .
Although dates are not a good source of protein , they contain all types of amino acids.The content of proline amino acids, aspartic acids , alanine, glycine , valves and leucine is higher than tgar of other amino acids.All of these nutrients support the need for pregnant women to provide adequate nutrients to the mother and baby.
Conclusion, dates provide many health benefits to human.The dates should not be seasonal foods that are taken during the holidays and fasting during the month of Ramadhan.The nutrient content of dates depends on the type of date and the level of maturity.However, as smart consumers, daily intake of dates should be modest so that health benefits can be maximized.Kindly proceed to boycott any brand dates (Kurma) from Israel for our continuous support towards Palestine, humanity and demanding for the end of Genocide.
