Jujube is a good tonic and aftercare product. You can eat it often, but you should not overdo it. Eating too much can cause problems such as hyperacidity and bloating. Moreover, jujube peel is difficult to digest, so you must chew it slowly.
(2) Love your teeth
Jujube has a high sugar content, which is harmful to teeth. If you eat too many red dates, but don't drink enough water, it is easy to get tooth decay. People who already have dental diseases should not eat dates.
(3) It is best not to eat red dates with cucumbers or radishes.
Radish contains ascorbase and cucumber contains vitamin decomposing enzyme, both of which may destroy vitamins in other foods.
(4) Don't eat red dates with animal livers.
Animal liver is rich in copper, iron and other elements, and copper and iron ions are easy to oxidize vitamins contained in other foods and lose their efficacy.
(5) Take antipyretics and don't eat red dates.
Taking antipyretics and eating foods with high sugar content are easy to form insoluble complexes and reduce the initial absorption rate of drugs. Jujube is a food with high sugar content and can't be eaten with antipyretics.
Winter jujube picking:
During the ripening process of winter jujube, nutrients accumulate continuously, and the skin color, pulp texture and color also change. There was a significant difference in good fruit rate during storage with different maturity.
When harvested in the crisp ripe period (semi-red fruit), the peel of jujube fruit has thickened and hardened, and the fruit has bright color, crisp and juicy meat, sweet and sour taste, enhanced flavor and high sugar content, which can fully display the characteristics of fresh food species and prevent over-ripening and rotten fruit.
If it is harvested too early (around the white ripening stage), the skin of Dongzao jujube is green, the meat is hard, the juice is less, the palatability is poor, the sugar content is low, the flavor is poor, and the nutrient accumulation is less, but the respiratory metabolism is vigorous and more nutrients are consumed. In addition, the surface protection tissue of jujube fruit is underdeveloped, and its water retention ability is poor, which makes it easy to lose water and fade. If it can be harvested too late (after maturity), the pulp of Dongzao jujube will lose its umami flavor due to dehydration and softening, and the peel will become thicker.
