5 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE JUJUBE

The Jujube is known as hong zao in China.

It can be described as the Chinese equivalent of a Middle Eastern date. Also known as a red date.

Chinese people produce more than 4 million tons of jujubes each year. That’s about 80% of jujubes worldwide.

People use jujube to treat (among other things!) insomnia, constipation, and anxiety!

100 grams of jujube has 69 mg of Vitamin C. There are only 53.2 mg in the same amount of orange! That’s almost 30% more!
