Export market[edit]

It seems notable that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia exports 100 tons of these dates per year.^[1] --DDlicious (talk) 22:17, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That export total is unsourced in the Arabic article and would need a WP:RS source here. Wikipedia is not a source for itself. Zefr (talk) 22:23, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I found the source for the 100 tons per year figure in the Arabic article,^[1] but that figure conflicts with the "thousands of tons" currently cited in the English article (from a different website). --DDlicious (talk) 00:39, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nutrient content[edit]

I also added a Nutritional content section. -DDlicious (talk) 00:38, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The source you added does not report on nutrients other than a high iron content (from what the public URL shows), which conflicts with this USDA analysis. More importantly, the source wildly describes 'medicinal' values of the dates that would never stand to scientific scrutiny in reputable literature or here, WP:MEDRS. Zefr (talk) 02:43, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the suggestion. I revised and re-added the Nutritional content section, using the USDA source you suggested instead. --DDlicious (talk) 00:41, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
