Snow Jujube (冰雪蜜枣)

Introducing Snow Jujubes (Winter Dates Fruit) from China, also known as candied dates. These China dates are celebrated for their large size, sweetness and crispness. Winter jujubes have a delightful crunch akin to apples but with a thinner skin and a small pit at the center. They're versatile, adding flavour to Chinese soups, teas, and desserts, often paired with snow fungus, red dates, and ginkgo nuts. Whether enjoyed fresh, fermented into wine, or used in traditional medicine, winter jujubes elevate culinary creations with their comforting and flavourful essence.

STORAGE

Keep Snow Jujubes at room temperature for a few days to maintain freshness and flavour or place them in a breathable container in the fridge for longer shelf life and crispness.
