The California date is a symbol of health for many consumers. Further proving this ideology, the California Date Commission has announced its sponsorship of the American Diabetes Association's (ADA) Diabetes Food Hub® as part of the inaugural National California Date Month.
"We are thrilled to begin this collaboration with the American Diabetes Association," said Gordon Chuchian, Chairman of the California Date Commission. "Our sponsorship aims to promote the health benefits of California dates, offering a natural, nutritious option for individuals managing diabetes. Through this program, we are adding yet another initiative to showcase the versatility and importance of California Dates as part of a balanced meal plan."
The Diabetes Food Hub, a key online platform by the ADA, empowers individuals with diabetes to make informed dietary choices through healthy recipes and expert resources. By sponsoring this hub, the California Date Commission reinforced its commitment to promoting healthy eating habits and raising awareness about how California Dates can help manage blood glucose levels, a press release shared.
Rich in fiber, potassium, magnesium, and antioxidants, California Dates stand out as a smart alternative to refined sugars. Their unique nutritional profile provides immediate and sustained energy, making them ideal for those looking to manage their blood sugar levels effectively.
"We are grateful for the California Date Commission's support of the ADA's Diabetes Food Hub," said Anita Dominguez, ADA Executive Director, Los Angeles. "Their commitment to promoting healthy food choices aligns perfectly with our work to empower people with diabetes to live healthier lives. Together, we will provide valuable resources that educate the public on the benefits of California Dates and how to incorporate them when meal planning with diabetes."
This collaboration will extend beyond National California Date Month, offering year-round educational content that includes recipes and practical tips for incorporating dates into daily meal plans. The California Date Commission aims to showcase how these nutrient-rich fruits can support long-term health goals, making them a valuable part of a balanced diet for those managing diabetes or striving for overall well-being.
