Fresh dates contain 20% to 36% sugar; they contain 19 essential amino acids for the human body, such as aspartic acid, threonine, serine, etc. The biggest feature of winter dates is their extremely high vitamin C content. Every 100 grams of pulp contains 380 to 600 mg of vitamin C (vitamin C supplements can generally provide 60 mg of vitamin C), which is 70 times that of apples and 16 times that of citrus fruits. Hawthorn, which was previously considered to be rich in vitamin C, is no match for them.
