Ramadan is considered one of the holiest months for Muslims and is marked by a period of fasting from sunrise until sundown. Iftar<\/i> is the time to replenish energy levels and effort should be made to consume foods from all major food groups to ensure a range of nutrients to the body and to promote good health.<\/p>\n

Breaking the fast with dates is a Ramadan tradition.\u00a0Dates are also appropriate during Ramadan for its many benefits \u2013 high in sugar, fiber, minerals, (when fresh) vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, and iron. Dates provide a quick source of energy and nutrients and can prevent an upset stomach when eating large amounts of food after a long day of fasting.<\/p>\n

There is no better way to mark the start or end of fasting than with healthy yet tasty foods.<\/p>\n
