Native to Egypt, Zaghloul dates have an elongated oval shape and a deep red to burgundy skin with a bright white, crisp flesh, like that of an apple. Besides, their flesh is fibreless and sweet with a hint of astringency and offers notes of cinnamon and sugar cane. In addition, these dates contain high amounts of dietary fiber, potassium and B-complex vitamins. They are also a good source of many other nutrients, including iron, which in turn could help provide relief from anemia symptoms
