Zaghloul dates resemble giant red grapes and taste like crisp apples. They often have deep red or burgundy skin, with crisp flesh. Their taste is sweet, and one may also taste a hint of astringency, and notes of cinnamon and sugar cane. Mira, in her post, made her fans aware of the many health benefits of this fruit:

1. High amounts of B-complex vitamins

These dates have high amounts of B-complex vitamins, a water-soluble nutrient that is critical for certain bodily functions, such as transforming food into energy, and the production of red blood cells. It also boosts immune function and maintains bone and hair health. B-complex vitamin-rich foods are also beneficial for brain health and help reduce the risk of cognitive decline and dementia.
