Candied dates and red dates are common dates in our daily life. Jujube is mostly used to soak in boiled soup, and candied dates are eaten as snacks. Their raw materials are all dates. Let me show you pictures of candied dates. What is the difference between candied dates and red dates?

There are three main differences between candied dates and dates.

First, the formation process is different. Jujube is a dried jujube that turns red and crimson after green jujube matures until it is fully mature. Jujube made by this method is not easy to deteriorate and break, and can be stored for a long time. Like red dates, candied dates belong to dry dates and are subdivided into candied dates. In the production process, add sugar to boil and dry, and finally they become the candied dates we usually see.

Secondly, the taste is different. Jujube skin is thin and fleshy, soft and pure, sweet and pure. It can be soaked in water to make tea or even wine. After processing, candied dates retain the nutritional value of dates, but increase the sweetness, and the taste is mostly soft and waxy.

Third, the nutritional value is different. Jujube is a nourishing food with high nutritional value. Its effects include promoting blood circulation and benefiting qi, strengthening kidney and moistening lung, diarrhea and eating less, and dirty dryness caused by deficiency of both qi and blood. People who are physically weak can nourish the body. Jujube contains essential substances for human energy metabolism, which can improve spleen and stomach weakness, qi and blood deficiency, insomnia and other symptoms.

Candied dates belong to the processed products of red dates, which are very sweet to eat, so people with deficiency and cold of spleen and stomach should eat less, people with dental diseases should not eat them, and people with hyperglycemia and diabetes should not use them.
