Dates can also be called desert bread, which is a kind of dry food for many people who like to travel and live in desert areas for a long time. Jujube is light and heavy, rich in sugar and full of satiety. Usually, when we see a lot of meal replacement powder, we will add jujube powder.
Jujube is mainly produced in Yunnan and Guangxi in China, and this fruit is also found in Arabia. Because of the same climate, it has the characteristics of drought resistance and alkali resistance, and it likes very wet and rainy places. Jujube has high nutritional value and is also a cash crop that fruit farmers are proud of. They can not only fill their stomachs, but also create value.
The sugar content of date palms is much higher than that of ordinary dates. Due to long-term photosynthesis, light can be converted into sugar, and at the same time, a large amount of sugar can be produced for drinking. Generally, we are exposed to dried dates in the market, so it is difficult to see fresh dates, because they are not easy to store and will naturally air-dry after picking. This method is adopted by most people, which is beneficial to the storage of sugar and will not go bad.
Why does desert bread have a name? To put it bluntly, the desert area is uninhabited and not suitable for people to live in, but because people who have no way to live always look for dry food suitable for long-distance travel, date palms are particularly important at this time.
Because jujube is rich in nutrients and vitamins, you won't feel thirsty after eating it, but you will feel full after eating a few, which is very suitable for desert people. Of course, there are other uses that can be substituted, such as raisins and dried mangoes, but the size of dates is more suitable.
