Red Date Powder

Red Date Powder

　　Red dates are highly nutritious. They contain protein, fat, carbohydrates, and dietary fiber; a variety of amino acids as well as calcium, phosphorus, iron, potassium, sodium, magnesium, chlorine, iodine, carotene, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin; and vitamins such as vitamin C, vitamin P, and vitamin E. The vitamin C content in fresh jujubes can reach 380–600 milligrams per 100 grams, which is 11–20 times that of citrus fruits and about 100 times that of apples, pears, and peaches. Their vitamin P content also ranks the highest among all fruits. Hence, they are hailed as the “natural vitamin pill.”
