Context

"Jujubes, also known as Chinese red dates, have been cultivated in their native China for more than 4,000 years. High in antioxidants and an excellent source of vitamin C, they've long been valued in traditional Chinese medicine, as well as prized for their culinary properties. Most commonly available as a dried product, jujubes are used to make tea and desserts and added to soups, stews and porridge." -californiabountiful.com Webpage on Jujubes
