Instead of Emergen-C, Jujube
Crisp and fresh or chewy and sweet, in twenty different varieties and all high in Vitamin C, the jujube is the fruit of the moment. Stock up as they come in season and eat them raw - and don't forget to thank us when you stay healthy this fall!

Great timing on this post. I've seen them at the Asian farmers' market about this time over the past few years, where they are received and snapped up with great excitement. I've never used them, but just last night was thinking that I'd buy some this week! ;o)

Love 'baer' (as they called in Hindi) this was a childhood favorite at school sold only by the vendors who were shut out by the Sisters at the school convent! These fruits have a lot of associated stories in Hindu Mythology
