Questions about Jujube
How do you know when a jujube is ripe?
The fruit changes from green to reddish brown as it ripens. Fresh jujubes are often crisp and apple-like; a fully mature one may be softer, with wrinkled skin.
How do you eat a fresh jujube?
Rinse it and eat it like a small apple; the skin is edible. Bite around the hard stone in the centre, or cut the fruit in half and remove it first.
How do you use dried jujubes in tea?
Rinse the dried fruit, split or lightly crush it, then simmer it in water for about 20 minutes. The resulting sweet, fruity drink is often called jujube tea or red-date tea; you can eat the softened fruit too.
How should you store fresh and dried jujubes?
Keep fresh jujubes in the fridge and eat them while they are still firm. Store dried jujubes in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry cupboard.
Are jujubes the same as dates?
No. Jujubes grow on a different tree from dates, which come from the date palm; fresh jujubes are typically crisp, while dates have soft, sticky flesh.
Can you use jujubes instead of dates in a recipe?
Dried jujubes can stand in for dates in porridge, baking or stewed fruit, but they are generally less sticky and have a different flavour. Chop them and remove the stones before adding them.
What dishes are jujubes used in?
Dried jujubes are simmered in drinks and added to soups, rice porridge and sweet stews. Fresh ones are commonly eaten as a snack or sliced into fruit salads.
