Health Benefits of Dates
4. Protein
Human beings have evolved to need quite a lot of protein in our diets. This is one reason we are omnivores, which means that we usually eat both meat and vegetables. An increasing number of people are turning away from meat, however, and these people will need to replace the protein they would otherwise get from meat.
There are some very good non-meat sources of protein, and dates are one of them. They are often used by sports people to help give them the protein they need for growth and repair of muscles. Their high calorie content also helps make them suitable for gym goers.
