Date fruits are very popular around the world due to richness in high profile nutrients and health promoting properties. Date palm (Phoenix dactyliferaL.) is a multipurpose tree providing, fiber, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins besides having certain medicinal properties. Here, in this review we have tried briefly outline the nutritive value of constituents present in it throughout the sections of the fruit like pericarp. The good nutritional value of date seeds is also based on their dietary fibre content, which makes them suitable for the preparation of fibre-based foods and dietary supplements. Dietary fibre has important therapeutic implications for certain conditions such as diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, and obesity and may exhibit a protective effect against hypertension, coronary heart disease (CHD), cholesterol, colorectal and prostate cancers, and intestinal disorders.
