*While Medjool dates are high in natural sugars, they are low on the
glycemic index thanks to a balanced amount of soluble fiber. The
complex carbohydrates found in Medjool dates are digested at a slower
rate, making them a source of dietary fiber and releasing energy to
the body over a longer period of time.
