Jujube, also known as anab, is a fruit from the jujube tree, also called the Chinese date. This tree grows primarily in warm climates and is native to parts of Asia, including China, Korea, Japan, and parts of the Middle East.
The jujube tree produces small round fruits that are green at first and turn a deep red color after ripening. These fruits have a sweet taste and texture similar to apples. They are rich in nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants, making them popular as a healthy snack.
Jujube fruits have been used for centuries in various cultures for their nutritional value and taste. They are eaten fresh, dried, used in desserts, made into juices and even used in traditional medicine for their purported health benefits.
