About our Dried Jujube Dates

About

Our premium-quality Dried Jujube Dates are a natural delicacy with a crisp outer skin and soft, juicy flesh that delivers a naturally sweet, caramel-like flavour. Please note: each fruit contains a stone at its centre.

Versatile and flavourful, Jujube Dates can be added to both sweet and savoury dishes, from traditional Chinese soups to modern bakes and porridges. They are also widely enjoyed steeped in hot water, allowing them to rehydrate into a plump, juicy fruit while creating a gently warming herbal tea. They are commonly simmered with Dried Goji Berries (Gou Qi Zi) and Dried Ginger Root (Gan Jiang).

In Chinese culture, Jujube Dates are frequently used in traditional blends and tonics, valued for their naturally nourishing properties and rich flavour profile. Whether enjoyed as a snack or incorporated into everyday meals, these dates are a delicious way to add depth, sweetness, and tradition to your diet. If you use them regularly, the same dates also come in a 500g pack.
