Product Information

On his visit to Medina, the 19th-century English explorer, Sir Richard Burton, observed that the local variety of jujube fruit was widely eaten. He describes its taste as like "a bad plum, an unripe cherry, and an insipid apple". He gives the local names for three varieties as "Hindi (Indian), Baladi (native), Tamri (date-like)." [22] A hundred years ago, a close variety was common in the Jordan valley and around Jerusalem. [23] The bedouin valued the fruit, calling it nabk. It could be dried and kept for winter or made into a paste which was used as bread. [24] The ultimate source of the name is Ancient Greek ζίζυφον zízyphon. [8] This was borrowed into Classical Latin as zizyphum (used for the fruit) and zizyphus (the tree). A descendant of the Latin word into a Romance language, which may have been French jujube or medieval Latin jujuba, in turn gave rise to the common English jujube. [3] This name is not related to jojoba, which is a loan from Spanish jojoba, itself borrowed from hohohwi, the name of that plant in a Native American language. [9] [ which?]

One test-tube study noted that jujube polysaccharides, which are natural sugars with antioxidant properties, may fend off free radicals, neutralize harmful cells, and decrease inflammation ( 15). There is no connection between the Jujubes candy as we know it today and the Jujubes fruit, although early versions of the jujube candy in the 1850s, called juju drops and juju paste, used the jujubes fruit as an ingredient. Researchers believe that these benefits are primarily a result of the antioxidant compounds in the fruit. Still, most of these studies were conducted in animals or test tubes, so more research in humans is needed before any firm conclusions can be drawn. May improve digestion Free radical damage is thought to be a major contributor to several chronic conditions, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers ( 5, 6, 7). Ziziphus jujuba".

FAQs

Decreased levels of inflammation and free radicals can help prevent chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes ( 16). This nutrient helps soften and add bulk to your stool. As a result, it speeds up the movement of food through your digestive tract and reduces constipation ( 26, 27, 28). In a rat study, jujube extract boosted immune cells called natural killer cells, which can destroy harmful invader cells ( 18). Jujube fruits have long been used in alternative medicine to treat conditions like insomnia and anxiety.

Plus, test-tube studies have found that jujube extracts kill several types of cancer cells, including ovarian, cervical, breast, liver, colon, and skin cancer cells ( 20, 21, 22, 23). Witch's broom, prevalent in China and Korea, is the main disease affecting jujubes, though plantings in North America currently are not affected by any pests or diseases. [15] In Europe, the last several years have seen some 80%–90% of the jujube crop eaten by insect larvae (see picture), including those of the false codling moth, Thaumatotibia (Cryptophlebia) leucotreta. [16] Jujubes were first introduced by the Heide Candy Company in 1890. The company, founded by German immigrant Henry Heide, initially specialized in producing hard candies. However, Heide recognized the growing popularity of gummy and chewy candies and sought to create his own unique confectionery treat. Jujube fruit is also combined with other herbs to treat colds and influenza. The fruit contains many different healthy properties like vitamins, amino acids. The use of the fruit can be helpful for spleen diseases in Chinese medicine. [31] Other uses [ edit ]

The commercial jujube candy popular in movie theaters originally contained jujube juice but now uses other flavorings.

The fruit and its seeds are used in Chinese and Korean traditional medicine, where they are believed to alleviate stress, [28] and traditionally for anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-ulcer, anti-inflammatory purposes and sedation, [29] antispastic, antifertility/contraception, hypotensive and antinephritic, cardiotonic, antioxidant, immunostimulant, and wound healing properties. [30] It is among the fruits used in Kampo. Jujube, along with Gan Cao, is used in Chinese medicine to harmonize and moderate other herbs. [ citation needed] What’s more, jujube extracts may help strengthen the lining of your stomach and intestines, decreasing your risk of damage from ulcers, injury, and harmful bacteria that may reside in your gut ( 29).In addition, jujube fruits contain carbs in the form of natural sugars, which provide your body energy. Flavinoids found in the fruits include Kaempferol 3-O-rutinoside, Quercetine 3-O-robinobioside, Quercetine 3-O-rutinoside. Terpenoids such as colubrinic acid and alphitolic acid were found in the fruits. [7] Taxonomy [ edit ] Jujube fruits are rich in several antioxidant compounds, primarily flavonoids, polysaccharides, and triterpenic acids. They also contain high levels of vitamin C, which acts as an antioxidant as well ( 4). The plant is known in Arabic and Persian as Annab (عناب, literally 'grape'), and as hinap or finab in eastern Bulgaria. In Somali it is called mareer and in Malagasy it is known as mokonazy. In Arabic-speaking regions the jujube and alternatively the species Z.lotus are closely related to the lote-trees (sing. "سدرة sidrah", pl. " سدر sidr") which are mentioned in the Quran, [34] [35] while in Palestine it is rather the species Z.spina-christi that is called sidr. [23]

Jujube’s high fiber content may help improve digestion. About 50% of the carbs in the fruit come from fiber, which is known for its beneficial digestive effects ( 1, 2, 24, 25). Currently, the flavors in one Jujube box include wild cherry, lemon, lime, violet, and lilac. Are Juju Beans the Same as Jujubes? Chico (also called GI 7-62) developed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in the 1950s [18] The binomial name has a curious nomenclatural history, due to a combination of botanical naming regulations, and variations in spelling. It was first named in the binomial system by Carl Linnaeus as Rhamnus zizyphus, in Species Plantarum (1753). Philip Miller, in his Gardener's Dictionary, considered that the jujube and its relatives were sufficiently distinct from Rhamnus to be placed in a separate genus (as it had already been by the pre-Linnaean author Tournefort in 1700), and in the 1768 edition he gave it the name Ziziphus jujuba (using Tournefort's spelling for the genus name). For the species name, he used a different name, as tautonyms (repetition of exactly the same name in the genus and species) are not permitted in botanical naming. However, because of Miller's slightly different spelling, the combination of the earlier species name (from Linnaeus) with the new genus, Ziziphus zizyphus, is not a tautonym, and was therefore permitted as a botanical name. This combination was made by Hermann Karsten in 1882. [5] [10] In 2006, a proposal was made to suppress the name Ziziphus zizyphus in favor of Ziziphus jujuba, [11] and this proposal was accepted in 2011. [12] Ziziphus jujuba is thus the correct scientific name for this species. We are sad to announce that Jujubes have been discontinued by the manufacturer. We are disappointed too. Jujubes History

Jujubes

At the turn of the century, jujubes were thought good for chest complaints. Those candies originally contained jujube juice, and they may have been popular in theaters because people didn’t want to cough and disturb their neighbors. Now they’re just chewy, gum-based candies with any sort of fruit flavor.” Liddell, Henry George; Scott, Robert. "A Greek-English Lexicon, ζίζυ
