Jujube

Jujube is a small red fruit that, when fresh, has a taste similar to an apple, and when dried, tastes like dates. The flavor of jujube ranges from mildly tart to variously sweet. Jujube is consumed with tea and is known as a healthy alternative to sugar. It can also be used in many herbal teas, giving them a new flavor and aroma. In the old days, when we caught a cold, the first thing grandmothers would recommend was a decoction made from different herbs, and jujube was always one of its regular ingredients. If you soak jujube for 24 hours and make a purée from it, you can also use it to make a delicious cake or cookie and enjoy it with tea or another drink.
