Fresh jujube is indeed a little more moist than dried jujube, and it contains more vitamins, which can meet the nutrition that the body needs every day. Among them, the potassium is twice that of banana, and the vitamin is 10 times that of kiwifruit. The Dietary Guide for China Residents shows that an adult needs 100mg vitamin a day, and two fresh dates can meet it, but it is not easy to store.

People who have come into contact with Chinese medicine should notice that Chinese dates are basically dried dates. That's because Chinese medicine believes that dried jujube can tonify the spleen and stomach, and the saponin contained in jujube can produce body fluid and soothe the nerves, improve sleep, and is easier to digest than fresh jujube, thus alleviating spleen and stomach weakness. It will be better for people with darker skin, but both kinds of fresh dates contain a substance called adenosine cyclophosphate, which protects the health of blood vessels, myocardium, liver and other parts and improves human immunity.

There are not only red dates but also black dates in the market. In fact, black dates are red dates, but black dates have one more smoking and baking process than red dates. Black dates are not as dry as red dates, but they also have the effect of nourishing the stomach. However, black dates contain too much pectin and other substances, which is not suitable for eating on an empty stomach. Therefore, Chinese medicine suggests eating red dates for health.

Although red dates are sweet and healthy, they will go bad if eaten too much. Some people will take a bag of dates as snacks when they are doing things, and they will eat more than half if they don't mind. Although it is dried jujube, it will also increase the burden on the stomach and lead to dry mouth. It is recommended to eat about 4-5 tablets a day, while chewing slowly and caring for the stomach.
