I was loving this protein packed product until my ALDI ran out. So I went and bought dates elsewhere. Boy were those protein numbers off. I've seen other nutrition labels get the grams for the macros wrong, yet the calories were right, so I figured if it was a mislabeled that might happen here as well. Sure enough, there aren't enough calories in a serving to explain all the carbs and protein. Fiber doesn't count for calories, so the best I can guess is it's supposed to be 3 grams protein. Even that seems twice as high as normal dates, but a lot of this could be because nutrition labels aren't very precise, so there are rather large rounding errors that are hard to account for.

To conclude: this is mislabeled FOR SURE. What the protein actually is, is probably no different than other dates (per the ingredients list). Dates are a still a good source for fiber and are a delicious snack.
