There’s a small study where folks took a bit of Ajwa seed powder every day for over a month and saw some shifts—lower body fat, better cholesterol levels, stuff like that. But remember, it’s not a quick fix. It works best when your whole diet isn’t a mess. Think of it as an assist, not the answer.

Actually… they’re great for digestion. Especially the seeds. They’re high in insoluble fiber—so yeah, it keeps things moving. The powder’s got some prebiotic qualities too, so it feeds the good bacteria. Most people don’t eat enough fiber, and dates sneak it in without tasting like cardboard.

Medjool and Amber are winners here. They’re dense, naturally sweet, and rich in glucose and potassium. Great for pre-workout or just powering through a mid-day crash. They don’t feel heavy, and the energy hit is smoother than caffeine. You won’t crash the same way.

They’ve got vitamin A and a decent hit of C, which both help with skin stuff—collagen, healing, etc. And the minerals like zinc, magnesium, and iron support hair strength. Are they a miracle beauty food? No. But will they help more than chips? Yeah.

You totally can—but don’t down a whole box while watching Netflix. A handful—like 4 to 6—is a solid daily dose. And if you’ve got blood sugar concerns, pair them with nuts or yogurt to slow the spike.

Yes, they’re sweet. But it’s not like refined sugar—there’s fiber, potassium, iron, antioxidants… it’s a package deal. Your body knows the difference. It’s about context—if your diet’s balanced, dates won’t wreck it.
