How does the high sugar content in Deglet Nour dates affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

The dates contain about 60 g of natural sugars per 100 g, which can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and should be consumed in very limited quantities by people with diabetes; however, the product contains virtually no salt, so it does not directly impact blood pressure for hypertensive individuals.

Are Deglet Nour dates suitable for vegan, keto, halal, or gluten‑free diets?

Yes, they are 100 % plant‑based, naturally gluten‑free and halal, but their high carbohydrate and sugar content makes them unsuitable for a strict keto regimen.

What is the best way to store opened Deglet Nour dates to keep them fresh?

After opening, keep the dates in an airtight container in a cool, dry place or refrigerate them; this prevents moisture loss and microbial growth, preserving flavor and nutritional quality for several weeks.

Product Insights

Deglet Nour dates are minimally processed (NOVA 1) dried fruits made from 100 % date flesh, falling under the PNNS groups “Fruits and vegetables” and “Dried fruits.” They carry a Nutri‑Score of C, reflecting a moderate overall nutritional rating driven by very high natural sugars (≈ 59.5 g per 100 g) and a strong fiber content (≈ 10 g per 100 g) while containing negligible fat, saturated fat, and salt. The product is free of additives, vegan and vegetarian, but the high sugar load makes it less suitable for low‑sugar or diabetic diets despite its natural origin.
