At present, Xinjiang Huizao is the most recognized jujube in the national market. Xinjiang jujube is produced in Qiemo County and Ruoqiang County, which is characterized by thin skin, thick flesh, small stone and high sugar content, which is related to the geographical location of Xinjiang. The temperature difference between day and night is large and the sunshine time is long here. The climate is dry, there is no pollution source, and it is still irrigated by snow water.
Among them, the best red dates are generally in Xinjiang, while the red dates in Xinjiang are mainly in southern Xinjiang, including Kashgar, Hotan, Aksu and Hami. The variety and quality of jujube produced in different regions are naturally different. Xinjiang jujube can be roughly divided into three varieties, namely, Junzao, Huizao and Yuanzao. Let's talk about these three in detail.
1, Junzao is a variety introduced from Shanxi, with big head, thick meat and good taste. Typical representatives are Hetian Yuzao in Hotan area, Tianshan Xuezao in Aksu area and Nanjiang Honglongzao in Kashgar area. All varieties are Junzao, but the names of different places are different. The taste of Junzao in different places is slightly different, and the strictness of selection is also very different, so the price is different, and your quality will be better.
2. Huizao is a Xinjiang variety introduced from Xinzheng, Henan. Small size, tight meat and excellent taste. It is the best jujube in Xinjiang at present, but the largest jujube is similar to the smallest jujube in Junzao. In addition, it is expensive and should not attract people's attention. In the early stage, gifts were the main thing. Typical representatives are Loulan Jujube of Ruoqiang and Nanjiang Hongyu Jujube of Kashgar, and the variety is Huizhou Jujube, but the names are different from place to place.
3. Jujube is also called Hami Jujube.
Its skin is thin and fleshy, dry but not wrinkled, its appearance is purple and shiny, and its shape is similar to that of table tennis. The taste is not comparable to that of Junzao and Huizao, which are commonly used as medicinal dates. The food contains unique medicinal flavor. Hami jujube is the first choice for nourishing blood and nutrition because it can't break the skin after long cooking.
