JuJube
Discover the Delightful Jujube Fruit!
Embark on a unique adventure at Dee’s Nutz and Berries Farm, where the humble jujube fruit beckons with its mystical allure. Often known as the “Chinese date,” this small, apple-like fruit conceals wonders within its modest size. With a crisp texture that ripens to a soft, date-like consistency, the jujube offers a sweet, subtly tart flavor that captivates and delights.
Nutritional Oasis:
Jujubes are a treasure trove of nutrition. Packed with vitamin C, these fruits support immune function and skin health. They are also rich in minerals, antioxidants, and dietary fibers, promoting digestion and overall well-being. Low in calories yet dense in nutrients, jujubes are a perfect snack for health-conscious individuals.
A Glimpse into the Unusual:
- Historical Legacy: With a history stretching back over 4,000 years in China, jujubes have been cherished not just for their culinary uses but also for their medicinal properties.
- Versatile Wonder: From fresh off the branch to dried treats, jujubes transform in texture and flavor, offering diverse culinary experiences. They can be used in teas, desserts, and even savory dishes.
- Night Skies and Blooms: Unlike many fruit trees that bloom in the daylight, jujube trees have the distinctive trait of blossoming at night. This nocturnal blooming adds a layer of mystery and wonder to the jujube, setting it apart from the more familiar fruit-bearing flora.
Season of Harvest:
The magic begins in late summer and extends through October. This is when our jujube orchard bursts into life, offering a bounty of fruits ready for picking. It’s the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors and bring home a piece of ancient tradition.
