What are Red Jujubes?

Red jujubes are a type of fruit that comes from the jujube tree, native to China. These fruits are harvested when they reach optimal ripeness and are then dried naturally under the sun. The drying process concentrates their natural sugars, enhancing their flavor and texture without the need for artificial additives or preservatives. Red jujubes are cherished for their rich taste, chewy consistency, and health-promoting properties.

Production Process

1. Harvesting: Red jujubes are carefully handpicked at their peak ripeness to ensure the best flavor and nutritional value.
2. Drying: The fruits are naturally sun-dried, which enhances their sweetness and chewy texture.
3. Cleaning and Sorting: The dried jujubes are thoroughly cleaned and sorted to remove impurities and ensure uniform quality.
4. Packaging: The jujubes are then sealed in moisture-proof packaging to maintain their freshness and quality.
