What does a Jujube taste like?
Delicious! A fresh jujube has a crisp, apple-like texture with subtly sweet tangy taste.
It’s an exceptional blend of honey and pear flavours, with a hint of citrus, making it a unique and refreshing fruit.
The thin, edible skin adds a slight chewiness and enhances the eating experience as you bite into a JUJUBENATE jujube!
While you may not eat the seed, we’re intrigued by its potential goodness and wellness benefits.
Where do jujubes come from?
While JUJUBENATE jujubes may be new to your local grocery store or green gorcer, jujubes have a rich history rooted in ancient civilisations.
Originating in China over 4,000 years ago jujubes were known as Zao, or Red Date, and prized for their crisp sweet taste and medicinal properties and became significant in cultural practices and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Jujubes spread along the trade routes to other parts of Aisa and the Middle East, and eventually Europe and are known by many names in multiple languages.
JUJUBENATE is excited to explore and learn more about how jujubes have been used in culinary, cultural, and medicinal practices by cultures over millennia’s. We look forward to sharing this with you too! [Join our JUJUBENATE community link]
What is the best Jujube for eating fresh?
After extensive taste testing, and research, of different varieties of jujubes we agree the Li varieties are the most ideal for eating fresh.
JUJUBENATE fresh jujubes are Shanxi Li variety and have a unique balance in flavour profile and crispness, are a perfect size for snacking, and are premium for gifting to family and friends.
In a comparison analysis to Chico, Honey Jar, Si-Hong and Redlands varieties our scientific research data tells us the Australian grown Shanxi Li jujubes is the best choice for JUJUBENATE.
How many Jujubes should you eat a day?
We suggest beginning with 3 fresh jujubes a day (we eat more!).
In Asian culture it is thought you should eat 3 jujubes a day, just like in Australia we say eat an apple day.
Remember, always check with your health professional on your dietary and health requirements and effects on medications.
