How to eat Jujube?
Enjoy raw or dried
Fresh jujubes are sweet and have an apple-like texture and can be eaten raw.
These dried Chinese jujubes are known as red dates. The dried fruits can be eaten directly, but they’re also often cooked into soups and tea. Dried red dates can be used in place of raisins or palm date fruits in cakes and other desserts.
