About Dried Red Dates
Dried jujube; sugar and calories highly concentrated, 3-5 pieces a time.
Health Benefits of Dried Red Dates
A 'natural candy' after dehydration
Dried red jujube is 287 kcal/100g, about 3.6x fresh jujube (79 kcal), because water drops from ~80% to 15-20%, multiplying nutrient density. Carbs reach 73.2g, mostly natural fructose and glucose. Three to five dried dates (~15-25g) is 45-70 kcal - a good amount for tea, congee or a sweet snack.
Tradition meets modern nutrition
Jujube is a traditional blood-nourishing food; modern analysis shows dried jujube is rich in iron, potassium and vitamins - with vitamin C standing out among dried fruit. But it's very high in sugar, so those managing blood sugar should keep to under 3 pieces and pair with a protein food to soften the blood-sugar response.
