Date palm ( L.) is the most popular fruit in the Middle East and North Africa. It is consumed widely and has been used for traditional medicine purposes for a long time. The fruits are nutrient rich, containing dietary fibers, sugar, protein, vitamins, minerals, flavonoid, and phenolic compounds. Due to the presence of the phenolic compounds, date palm fruits are antioxidant rich with potent bioactivities against several bacterial pathogens. Therefore, on the basis of the available evidence as reviewed in this paper, it was found that date fruits are a good source of natural antioxidants, which can be used for the management of oxidative stress-related and infectious diseases.
海枣（Phoenix dactylifera L.）是中东和北非最受欢迎的水果。它被广泛食用，并且长期以来一直被用于传统医学目的。这种水果营养丰富，含有膳食纤维、糖、蛋白质、维生素、矿物质、类黄酮和酚类化合物。由于酚类化合物的存在，海枣果实富含抗氧化剂，对多种细菌病原体具有强大的生物活性。因此，根据本文综述的现有证据，发现枣类水果是天然抗氧化剂的良好来源，可用于管理与氧化应激相关的疾病和传染病。
