Description
The Chinese red date (Hong Zao), also known as the Jujube date, originated from China and has been cultivated for 4000 years. Today, this sweet treat is grown throughout China, the Middle East, northern Africa and even in southern Europe. They range from the size of an olive to a chicken egg – giant jujube dates have more flesh and are often stuffed with a walnut as a delicious snack.
Jujube dates have a crisp red skin, and then a soft, spongy centre that is sweet and slightly tart. These crimson delights can be eaten fresh or can be used in cooking, soups, desserts, sweet tea and even in herbal medicine.
