Preserving fresh dates into candied fruit is another fresh-keeping method, but the loss of nutrients in candied dates is greater, and almost all the vitamin C in them is destroyed. There are many ways to eat red dates. Dried dates are suitable for porridge or soup, which can release nutrients well. When cooking porridge or soup, if you can match some dried jujube food, you can enhance the curative effect, such as jujube medlar soup with neurasthenia, jujube peanut egg congee with iron deficiency anemia, jujube celery soup with hypertension, etc.
Compared with dried dates, candied dates have less nutrients and the highest sugar content, and are also the most suitable for cooking porridge, which can dilute the sugar concentration in candied dates. Jujube has the effect of enriching blood, which is generally considered to be the most suitable for women to eat, but in some cases it is not the case: women with swollen eyes or feet and abdominal distension during menstruation are not suitable for eating jujube, otherwise the edema will be more serious; Women with hot constitution are not suitable for eating red dates during menstruation, otherwise it will cause excessive menstrual flow. In addition, although red dates can be eaten often, it is best not to exceed 20 pieces at a time. Eating too much will damage the digestive function and cause constipation. Because the sugar content of red dates is high, eating too much is easy to cause tooth decay. In addition, the skin of jujube is hard and difficult to digest, so it must be chewed fully when eating, otherwise it will damage the gastrointestinal tract and affect the absorption of nutrients.
