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.

@BizSuitStacy I bought some at a Chinese grocery store one time maybe 40 years ago and was so disappointed. They must have been sitting out in that package for years. Hard to chew and no flavor. These are good, maybe because they are just old enough to get the flesh dried up without getting rock hard.
