Phoenix dactylifera L. (Ajwa date) is a natural plant that belongs to the Arecaceae family and consumed as a fruit. It is cultured all over the world especially in desert areas like Arab regions and has nutritional significance and pharmacological values. P. dactylifera L. dominates itself from other dates because of its enrichment in dietary fibers, vitamins, minerals and sugars. The study exhibits that P. dactylifera L. contains certain phytochemicals including phenols and flavonoids which act as antimicrobial agents. The distinctive profile of phytochemicals in P. dactylifera L.is the reason for its frequent use as a medicinal plant. In vivo and in vitro studies have been performed to understand the complete nature of P. dactylifera L. This review article gives an overview of the nutritional significance, pharmacological actions, life stages and phytochemical mechanism of P. dactylifera L.
