With its excellent and valuable quality, dipped winter jujube is favored by the majority of consumers and is one of the hot fruits in the autumn and winter market. At present, a large number of all kinds of fresh dates are listed, but some operators use ordinary fresh dates such as jujube and bell jujube or winter dates from other places to counterfeit and dip winter dates, infringing on the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.
