Jujube Fruit Each

Jujube are small stone fruits native to China, treasured for thousands of years for their sweet, lightly tart flavour and satisfying crunch. Fresh jujube have thin, crisp skin with apple-like flesh that deepens in sweetness as the fruit ripens from green to deep red-brown.

Eat them fresh as a snack, add to fruit salads, or dry them to make a chewy, date-like treat. They are a staple in Chinese braised pork dishes, traditional teas and sweet soups. Rich in vitamin C and fibre, jujube are increasingly popular in Australia as a natural alternative to conventional sweet snacks.

Harris Farm sources jujube seasonally from Australian orchards. Look for firm, glossy skin with no soft spots. They keep for up to a week at room temperature or longer in the fridge.
