Chef Ahua made an appetizing "Kumquat Chicken Sliced with Jujube Noodles" with red dates. (Photo/Zhang Shijie) Han, director-general of Miaolifu Farmers' Association, pointed out that mid-July is the ripening season of red dates, and the production cycle is short, about 1 month. You can see fresh red dates with green and yellow ochre in the market, and dried red dates will be on the market soon.

But if you want to buy the fruits produced in Taiwan Province Province, or pick them yourself, you have to hurry, and if you slow down, you will have to wait 1 year. Because red dates may vary in size due to the origin and variety, but the nutritional difference is not great. Therefore, cheap red dates are not necessarily bad, and big ones are not necessarily better.

Four Skills of Selecting Jujube

2. Deep epidermis: In fact, once the red dates are picked, the color of the epidermis will not change much. The sweetness of red dates can be judged by the color of the epidermis. The darker the color, the higher the maturity and the sweeter it is.

3. There is a handle at the top: if there is a small hole at the top without a handle, it is moth-eaten. You can also pinch it by hand. If the pulp feels soft and empty, it may be eaten by insects.

4. Red-brown is good: red-brown is the main color of jujube, and the most taboo is bright red, because it may be a dyed product, and the color is already half red, indicating that jujube is mature and sweet enough.
