Description

What is Jujube?

Jujube, also known as Ziziphus jujuba, is a small, reddish-brown fruit that resembles a date and is often called red date or Chinese date. Native to Southern Asia but now grown worldwide, jujube fruit has been used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine and culinary practices. Whether consumed fresh, dried, or in candy form, jujube offers a unique combination of flavor, nutrition, and medicinal value.

Jujube Candy and Its Popularity

Jujube candy, a chewy, gumdrop-like treat, is a popular way to enjoy the jujube flavor. These candies are often brightly colored and fruit-flavored, though traditional versions are made with actual jujube fruit extract. While modern jujube candy may not always include the real fruit, it remains a nostalgic treat in many cultures. When made from real jujube extract, the candy combines sweetness with natural health benefits, making it a more nutritious alternative to synthetic sweets.
