The benefits of eating green dates are as follows: 1. They are rich in vitamin C, which promotes the production of collagen in the skin and makes the skin fairer, rosier and more elastic. 2. They are rich in organic acids, which promote the secretion of gastric and intestinal juices and have obvious benefits in terms of improving digestive capacity. The downside of eating dates is that if you eat too many of them, they can damage your teeth and cause a decrease in chewing function.
