Product Description

The Red Jujube Date, also known simply as Jujube (pronounced ju-ju-bee), is the dried ripe fruit of the Chinese Jujube tree (Zizyphus jujuba). Jujube dates can be used in teas, soups, smoothies, cooked dishes, or may be consumed raw straight from the package as a snack and tonic supplement. It is an excellent superfruit that fosters glowing health when consumed consistently. The Jujube Date is a powerful Qi tonic and provides excellent energy. This major tonic fruit is widely used in Chinese herbalism in combination with other herbs, such as Ginseng and/or Astragalus, to enhance their Qi-building capacity. Red Jujube date nourishes the blood, soothes the mind, and builds and strengthens muscle. Jujube is considered a mild Shen tonic because it calms the mind — without causing drowsiness — while increasing physical energy. Red Jujube dates are consumed daily by Chinese Shaolin monks. Dragon Herbs has carefully selected these premium red Jujube dates, sourced from the pristine Song Mountains near the Shaolin Temple in the Chinese heartland.

Flavor: Subtly rich and softly sweet with a bland mild fruitiness that spreads evenly over the palette and pleasantly lingers

Directions: Add the amount of botanicals per a recipe, as desired, or as directed by a health practitioner. The proper way of extracting botanicals depends on parts used. Flowers, fruits and leaves can usually be steeped or decocted (boiling over fire) while stems, barks and roots typically require decocting.

In a Desktop Botanical Garden™ Glass Tea & Elixir Maker, add 1 part botanical(s) and 5-8 parts water, steep or decoct for 5-20 minutes. You can boil water directly in the Elixir Maker. Repeat this process for 2nd or 3rd extraction until all active constituents have been extracted.
