Cover Story: Date palm cultivation is highly relevant, especially in the arid and semiarid regions of the world, mainly due to the fact that it is considered an ecoefficient crop (based on its few growth requirements and the fact that it is economical and sustainable) that produces a nutritious fruit (date fruit). Recently, its implantation has rapidly spread to other areas of the world as a viable option to fight against the consequences of climate change, but also due to several health benefits associated with date fruit (pulp and seeds) that make them a potential source of functional food ingredients.
