What are the nutritional benefits of jujube fruit? Learn it all in one article

The sugar content of jujubes ranks first among all kinds of fruits: fresh jujubes contain more than 20% sugar, and dried jujubes contain 60 to 80% sugar. Their calorie content is similar to that of rice and flour, so they can replace staple grains; this makes the jujube an important woody food crop. In addition, jujubes contain 1.2 to 3.3% protein, as well as fat and essential minerals such as iron, phosphorus and calcium. Their vitamin C content reaches 380 to 600 mg per 100 g, which is 10 times that of citrus and 80 times that of apples.
