Various dates, as green as jade or as red as agate, contain an average of 600 to 900 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams. Therefore, jujube has the reputation of being the first of all fruits and the king of natural vitamins.

Jujube has strong antioxidant and anti-free radical effects, and has anti-aging and cancer prevention effects. In addition, dates contain more vitamin C, which can turn cholesterol into bile acids, thus preventing the occurrence of gallstones. Because the cause of gallstones is excess cholesterol, once the cholesterol is dissolved in bile, it will not cause stones. Jujube is also good for the heart. It contains rutin, which is a very beneficial substance to the human body. It can lower cholesterol and blood pressure, and is very beneficial to patients with hyperlipidemia and hypertension. There is a folk formula of "cooking fresh red dates and fresh celery root together". After taking it, it has the effect of lowering blood fat and cholesterol.

Patients with liver disease and cirrhosis can also eat more dates, because dates can promote the liver's synthesis of albumin, and the vitamin C they contain can reduce the damage to the liver caused by drugs. People suffering from insufficient Qi and blood, malnutrition, cardiovascular disease, and allergic constitutions should eat jujubes more often, because jujubes are rich in calcium and vitamin C, which have anti-allergic effects. Dried dates can also prevent constipation and are a good detoxification food. Jujube is a natural food, easier to absorb than synthetic vitamin C pills, and has no side effects. However, do not boil it in water when eating it, because the vitamin C in the dates will be destroyed if the temperature exceeds 80°C. After washing with water, eating them raw is the most nutritious. Consistently eating 5 to 8 jujubes every day is very beneficial to the body.

After consuming dates, do not eat high-protein foods such as seafood and dairy products immediately. Because vitamin C will cause the protein in these two foods to clump and be difficult to absorb, you should wait 1 to 2 hours after eating dates before eating high-protein foods. (from Baidu)
