Have You Ever Eaten Jujube Fruit? Also Called Chinese Red Dates?
Someone gave us a bag of them that he grew from his own trees. They grow well in Oklahoma and can even grow in some desert conditions. They aren’t really dates, but have a similar pit inside and they are a bit dry inside and not too sweet. I like the flavor and texture of them. They remind me of another fruit called a Senjed. That fruit has a lemony flavor and a dry texture, reminds me of eating a small lemon cookie. Good with hot tea. Jujube fruits have a host of health benefits. I hope we can get a lot more of them in the future.

@4meAndyou The health benefits are something else too. The worst problem the man who gave them to us said was keeping the squirrels away. He has 3 trees and they are loaded but the squirrels strip 2 of the trees and the other tree is right next to an area where his German shepherd stays in the yard and he barks the squirrels away. I would have loved to have planted these trees when we moved into this house to have all of that fruit.
