Determine first if the Medjool date palm is hardy in your region. Growing well in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 8 through 12, it tolerates light frosts and mild subfreezing temperatures in climates that do not have heavy, wet soils during the chill of winter.
Most of the carbohydrates in dates come from sugars, which are simple carbohydrates that your body quickly digests and turns into energy. Each medjool date contains 16 grams of sugar, which is 89 percent of the carbohydrates in the date. These sugars include mainly glucose and fructose, along with small amounts of sucrose and maltose. The high natural sugar content in dates is what makes pureed dates a good alternative sweetener for use in some recipes.
