This study attempts to describe scientific investigations on date palm fruit and human health. Dates are a significant source of numerous nutrients carbohydrate content and abundance of vital minerals and vitamins. It is also abundant in phenolic acids, tannins, carotenoids and flavonoids, all of which have medicinal benefits for a variety of illnesses. By using fermentation to release these chemicals and then examine their medicinal and therapeutic qualities, the outcomes demonstrated that the most crucial of these treatments are antimicrobials, antioxidants, gastrointestinal protective, antidiabetic, and anticancer. The fermentation process can be used to benefit from the by-products of dates in the creation of new products. The potent and advantageous components of Phoenix dactylifera, including as flavonoids, phenolics, amino acids, and fatty acids, may be responsible for its pharmacological benefits, and minerals. The goal of this review was to describe Phoenix dactylifera ‘s pharmacological preventative and therapeutic potentials.
