Health benefits

The superhero - superfood.

Jujubes have been cultivated and enjoyed throughout Southeast Asia for thousands of years. Also known as Chinese Dates and Red Dates, they are an incredibly versatile, healthy option for every one.

Below are just a few of the many reasons we love our Jujubes!

Yellow Silk Jujubes

Whether you eat your jujubes fresh out of the fridge, in your favourite recipe, or dried, they’re absolutely full of goodness.

They are rich in compounds which give our beloved Jujubes their substantial antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These powerhouse properties are the body’s allies in preventing certain cancers, decreasing the risk of heart disease and boosting immune health.

Jujubes high in vitamin C

Vitamin C is the key to glowing skin, healthy hair, and the speedy healing of wounds and injuries to the body.

Enjoying Jujubes every day is an excellent way to increase your intake – in fact, just half cup of fresh Jujubes meets 100 percent of your daily vitamin C requirement!

Together with their high vitamin C content and other compounds, Jujubes are believed to have natural anti-bacterial and antimicrobial effects. The humble Jujube fruit is your anti-aging superhero.

In addition to abundant Vitamin C, Jujubes also have a high content of vitamin B1, B2, B3, and B6 – known to be great for our brain and mental health.

The Flavonoids found in Jujubes also help to protect neural cells from oxidative stress and various neurological degenerative diseases.

With its neuro-protective action, the Jujube fruit has been traditionally used as a natural anti-depressant, anti-anxiety and anti-stress medicinal food. 

Jujubes for better sleep

Emerging research shows that the unique combination of antioxidants and phytochemicals in Jujubes can aid with quality sleep.

Both the fruit and seed extracts are used to help people increase their sleep time, and effectively manage their insomnia and night sweats.

jujubes for better gut health

We’ve all heard of good gut bacteria and bad. The fibre found in Jujubes nourishes your beneficial gut bacteria and allows them to overtake the harmful bacteria that may reside in your digestive system.

Studies also show that Jujubes may also help strengthen the lining of your stomach and intestines for better digestion and improved stool movement.

They truly are little wonders!
