Jujube is the most popular in autumn.
It's the season to eat dates. We often eat fresh dates, dried dates, candied dates and drunken dates. Fresh jujube is not only sweet, crisp and juicy, but also rich in nutrition, among which the content of vitamin C is the highest, with 243 mg of vitamin per100g. In addition, it contains far more carotene than other jujube products.
However, fresh jujube will lose its crisp taste after being placed at room temperature for a few days. In order to facilitate storage, fresh dates can be dried and made into dried dates. However, after jujube is dried in the sun, vitamin C dissolved in water is missing, which also has a great influence on other nutrients. But the calcium content in dried jujube is higher than that in fresh jujube.
Jujube is a good nutrient.
Autumn is relatively dry, red dates are warm and sweet, and enter the spleen and stomach meridians, which have the functions of strengthening the spleen and stomach, benefiting qi and promoting fluid production, nourishing blood and calming the nerves, and detoxifying. Therefore, it is also very effective to use jujube for diet therapy in autumn. Here are two recipes for jujube dietotherapy: 60 grams of jujube and 200 grams of celery, washed and boiled, which can prevent and treat hypertension, dizziness and headache; 5 grams of red dates, tremella 10 grams, and appropriate amount of sugar. Wash red dates and tremella, stew them until they are cooked and soft, and add sugar to eat them every morning and evening, which can prevent and treat neurasthenia caused by blood deficiency, and achieve the effects of nourishing yin and enriching blood and calming the nerves.
Jujube is a good product for physical weakness, nourishing and recuperating. But jujube peel is not easy to digest, so you must chew it slowly. At the same time, eat in moderation. Eating too much will lead to hyperacidity and bloating.
Drunken dates are mellow, crisp, sweet and pleasant, and can be preserved for a long time, but the nutritional loss is great, and almost all vitamin C is destroyed. However, the water loss of Zuizui jujube after air drying is great, and the mineral content increases after soaking in wine, so the calcium content of Zuizui jujube is the best among these jujube products, with 75 mg per100g. Preserved fresh jujube is another way of preservation, but the calories of preserved jujube are high, with 78.9 g of carbohydrate per100g.
Fresh dates are best eaten raw, which is beneficial to the absorption of nutrients. Dried dates are more suitable for porridge or soup, which can release nutrition well. Compared with fresh jujube and dried jujube, candied jujube has the least nutrients and the highest sugar content, and is also the most suitable for porridge, which can dilute the sugar concentration in candied jujube.
Winter jujube is on the market in late summer and early autumn. If you like to eat fresh jujubes, you should buy them back in time, otherwise the jujubes may go moldy and deteriorate due to improper storage. Some dried dates can be preserved for a long time. Jujube can be eaten in water or soup. Dried dates are also very good. Dried red dates are a good product for women to replenish blood. Female friends with anemia can buy some red dates to eat.
