In Ruoqiang County, a small county located on the plateau, it is a place with long sunshine hours and a large temperature difference between day and night, which gives birth to a unique sweet fruit - Ruoqiang gray jujube. Compared with ordinary red jujubes, Ruoqiang gray jujube has a higher sweetness, fuller and firmer flesh, small kernel and thick flesh, and better taste.

Ruoqiang gray bezoars are harvested later than ordinary red jujubes, they ripen in October, then hang naturally on the trees, and do not begin to fall off and harvest naturally until November. This growth process makes Ruoqiang gray jujube absorb more nutrients, and the flesh is fuller and firmer.

1.Differences in appearance

During the processing process, Ruoqiang gray jujube is directly packaged after sifting the fruit, and there is no process of washing, drying, and fumigation of preservatives. This allows the bezoars to retain the sugars and nutrients in the pulp, and there may be dust on the surface, but this is a testament to their natural additive-free. Gray jujube is also known as Ruoqiang jujube, because before the Ruoqiang jujube matures and turns red, the whole body is gray, as if hanging a layer of frost, so it is named "gray jujube". It tastes sweeter than ordinary jujubes, with a small core and thick meat, and a kernel content of only 4% to 5%.

2.Nutritional differences

Ruoqiang gray dates are suitable for making soup because they do not rot after cooking for a long time, and can maintain the taste and nutrition of the soup. Moreover, the gray jujube itself is sweet and warm, rich in vitamins, and has the effects of nourishing the qi, nourishing the blood and calming the nerves, etc., and is a good health product.
