article: The fruit of date palm “its possible use as the best food for the future“Authors: WalidAl shahid & RICHARD J. MARSHALLSOURCE: GOOGLE SCHOOLER
Research Type & question • Type of article: empirical “quantitative and qualitative” • Research question is:why the date is considered a rich dietary value?
Background • Previous researches were conducted to analyze nutrition values of dates • This paper brings together these results and evaluate its benefit. • Dates Contain several nutrition components (Carbohydrate, protein, vitamins , minerals, fat, fiber , saturated and unsaturated acid) Source: Google image
Stages of The date’s growth • Khalalstage • Kimri stage • Ripening stage • Date Source: google images
Research Method • Considered 20 out of 2000 varieties of date. • Analyzed data in each stages in date life. • Compered between the component of 20 varieties at different stages. • Contrasted the component of date with the component of some fruits.
The result: General Facts • Some values increase with the date’s growth • Other values decrease with the growth of date • Certain values level depends on others
Results: Protein Protein % 6 1 0.7 0.3 Apple Orange Banana Date
Results: Minerals Date
Results: vitamins • B1 • B2 • A • Folic Acid • C
Results: Fibers • Pectin as fiber availability Guava Strawberry mango Date
How the date components effect human health: Source: google images
Suggestions The article should emphasis that the content of sugar will not be stored in the body rather it is used as a daily energy supply
