"Exotic dates that I think would be rare anywhere else to buy"
Red Jujube Dates (Zizyphusjujuba), also simply as Jujube (pronounced ju-ju-bee), is the dried ripe fruit of the Chinese Jujube tree. Jujube Dates can be used in tea, soups, smoothies, cooked dishes, or may be consumed raw straight from the package as a snack or tonic supplement. They are an excellent superfruit.
Remember Ron Teeguarden’s “First Rule of Tonic Herbalism,” summed up in a single word –Compliance. If you don’t take the herbs, they won’t work.”

"Exotic dates that I think would be rare anywhere else to buy"
"Great quality as snack raw or soaked. My toddler is totally in love with these too!"
"When very sensitive to sugar you will love this more than normal dates. So good for a snack, in cakes, in salads. . . ."
"I know I can always find the BEST quality at Raw Living! These jujube dates are delicious!"
"I have an interest in Chinese Medicine, having trained somewhat in a few aspects of it. These red beauties are ridiculously generous with a range of wonderful contributions for bodies requiring a bit of extra tlc. Look them up on a Chinese Medicine site. Maybe even Dragon Herbs! They are less sweet than the kinds of dates you may have tried already & that's just the start!"
"Great quality jujube dates. To me they have a texture between dried and freeze dried, which makes for a great snack. I don’t think they’re as sweet as dates, but have a lovely flavour that’s very moorish. I’m trying to ration them for the Raw Living chocolate recipe but some of them are disappearing before I get that far."
"These are marketed as a tea or herbal supplement but actually taste perfectly nice just eaten straight from the pack."
"Amazing!"
"Normally dates are way to sweet for me and my blood sugar so these dates are perfect for me. Chew at bit on these dates and there flavor will bloom in your mouth."
"My son loves these.... They are big, shiny and very dry - almost crispy but not quite. The quality seems to be excellent."
