Extra-premium Xinjiang Grey Jujubes 250g

A treasure from Southern Xinjiang
Our gray jujubes are harvested in the high-altitude plains of Ruoqiang and Aksu, where the sun burns for more than 300 days a year and cold nights concentrate the flavors. The result: flesh of rare finesse, a natural sugar content close to 70%, and that melting texture that distinguishes premium jujubes.

Why “gray”? A mark of purity
Even before ripening, each jujube is covered in a fine grayish-white bloom – a veil of wax and sugar secreted by the tree to protect itself from the arid sun. This natural silver dust is the signature of an untreated fruit, harvested at maturity and slowly dried. It remains discreetly visible on the skin, a testament to its authenticity.

Extra Premium: the demanding selection
We have chosen the finest caliber, sorted grain by grain, to offer you a jujube that is:

• Fine-skinned like tissue paper,

• Thick and moist flesh,

• Microscopic pit for effortless enjoyment,

• Sweet, powerful, lingering on the palate – a true dried-fruit candy.

Ready to eat, zero hassle
Each jujube has undergone 6 cleaning and sterilization baths, then has been pitted by hand by our artisans. It arrives at your home in its resealable pouch:

• No need to wash (it is already pure)

• No need to spit (the pit is gone),

• No need to cook (snack on it as is, or dip it in your tea, porridge, or stuff it into a nut for an exceptional treat).

Ideal for:

• A healthy, energy-boosting snack,

• Mid-day slumps while working from home,

• Gourmet infusions,

• Refined gifts for connoisseurs of rare products.

1. An ally for energy and vitality

The gray jujube is a concentrate of essential nutrients (vitamins, minerals, amino acids). Its high content of natural carbohydrates (up to 70%) makes it a source of fast and sustained energy. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is renowned for toning Qi (vital energy) and nourishing the blood, which helps fight fatigue and anemia.

2. Support for the digestive system

Rich in fiber and B-group vitamins, it promotes intestinal transit and helps prevent constipation. Furthermore, it is traditionally used to soothe digestive issues (bloating, stomach aches) and improve appetite.

3. An asset for sleep, anxiety, and stress

This is one of its most recognized benefits. The jujube possesses sedative and relaxing properties that help fight insomnia, calm the nervous system, and reduce stress and anxiety. In TCM, it is used to soothe the spirit (Shen).

4. An antioxidant and protective shield

Thanks to its richness in vitamin C, flavonoids, polyphenols, and polysaccharides, the gray jujube exerts a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action. It helps strengthen the immune system, protect cells from premature aging, and fight infections.

5. Benefits for the cardiovascular system

Its content of potassium, antioxidants, and other bioactive compounds contributes to regulating blood pressure and improving the health of blood vessels. Research also suggests a beneficial effect on glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity.

Precautions for use

• Recommended quantity: Approximately 5 to 6 dried jujubes per day for a healthy person (excessive consumption = risk of digestive issues or weight gain).

• At-risk groups:

  • Diabetics: Consume in moderation due to sugar content.

  • People prone to diarrhea or bloating: Avoid or limit.

  • People on antidepressants or anticonvulsants: Seek medical advice.

Washed 6 times and pitted, they are ready to eat without preparation. We have also had their pesticide content verified by 46 independent analyses – a requirement we apply to all our products.
