How many dates should be put in the candied jujube zongzi? Generally speaking, one or two candied dates can be put in a candied jujube zongzi. Don't put too much jujube, or it will taste sweeter.
Throughout China, there are jiaozi with different fillings. Among them, jiaozi with dates as stuffing is very popular and is usually called candied dates. Jujube in candied dates can be stuffed with red dates and candied dates, but candied dates are very sweet to eat, and some of them are added with preservatives, pigments and other substances, which will affect human health. Therefore, when wrapping jiaozi, you can remove ordinary red dates as stuffing.
