Small, wrinkled, and intensely sweet – Jujube (also known as Chinese Red Dates, عناب Annab, or Zíziphus) are one of the most prized dried fruits in Persian, Afghan, Chinese, and Middle Eastern traditions. Deep burgundy-red with a chewy, caramel-like sweetness and a subtle floral note, they are eaten as a snack, brewed into nourishing teas, and used in traditional medicine across Asia and the Middle East for thousands of years. A handful a day – that’s the ancient wisdom.
