Date: October 28, 2009 01:03PM Does anyone know how dates stack up nutritionally compared to other fruits? For example, I eat alot of grapes, apples, bananas, strawberries, those are pretty much my favorites. If I started making smoothies replacing the calories from other fruits with dates would I still be receiving the nutrients I need? I eat alot of greens everyday, I love my veggies  Re: Nutrients in dates

Date: October 28, 2009 02:08PM I often rely on this website for nutrition and benefit information for various produce, but I don't see dates listed:
[whfoods.org] Just a quick google search brought these up for me: [lifestyle.iloveindia.com] [www.brighthub.com] There were many other internet sources, so just do a quick google search and I'm sure you'll find alot of helpful information. Look through alot of RAW Food websites as well. I'm sure others will be very helpful. ***************************** "Educate and inform the whole mass of the people...
