In the fields, the scene of a bumper harvest can be seen from the bottom of the field, and the peasant uncles are happy to close their mouths, tired and happy.
As the saying goes: "South lychee, north winter jujube", the so-called winter jujube, not the winter ripening and listing of dates, but because its ripening period is relatively late, close to winter, so it is called "winter jujube". Don't underestimate this humble "little guy", it weighs 17.5 grams per fruit, like an apple, so it has the reputation of "little apple", the skin is ochre red and bright, the skin is thin and crisp, sweet and fragrant, and the edible rate is as high as 95%.

The so-called look, then look at the color. In the process of growing winter jujube, due to the different time of illumination, there will be a phenomenon of red and green on the surface of the jujube, which is a normal phenomenon. According to fruit farmers, normal ripe winter dates are red and green, and there is no complete boundary between red and green, but the more coloring will be better, the general fruit surface 2/3 red, 1/3 is green is the best state, high sugar, crisp and sweet. If you find that the whole winter jujube is red, then it should be noted that most of such winter dates have been soaked in sodium saccharin, and the red part of the jujube that has been soaked in sodium saccharin is obvious, just like dyed, such winter dates are recommended not to buy.
Second point: touch
The so-called touch, first touch the hardness. Pick up a winter date and gently pinch it, if it is easy to pinch soft, such a winter date placed for a long time, basically has been broken, it is recommended not to buy; and good winter dates, the surface is very hard, is not moving, such winter dates are full of moisture, sweet and crisp.
The so-called touch. Touch the viscosity again. Fresh winter dates on the surface of dry and smooth, such winter dates must be good fruit, and if the surface is sticky, and a pinch, the epidermis is wrinkled and crispy, such winter dates must be soaked by sodium saccharin, it is not recommended to buy.
Third point: taste
The particularity of this product is that it can be tasted when purchased, which is also the most critical step in judging whether winter dates are good or bad. Naturally ripe winter dates taste sweet, crisp taste, and this sweetness is appropriate, from the inside to the outside are sweet, after eating will leave a lingering fragrance; if the sweetness is first sweet and then the taste is bitter, just like eating saccharin, and the taste is relatively soft, such winter dates must be soaked in sodium saccharin, it is recommended not to buy.
