I looked at the packaging of some deglet noor dates and it was like 19g of protein per ~5-6 dates! I was stoked, and then I double checked online but most sources have been telling me that they’re relatively low in calories. Like, about 3g of protein for an entire cup of them, chopped… so, is the packaging just straight up lying?
I’d guess it’s mislabeled and it’s about carbs. They have about 2,5% of protein. Which means 0,25g for a date, which is about 10g for a big one.
So no. 2,5g of protein in 10-15 dates.
There is however 75% of sugar in them.
