Jujubes grises du Xinjiang Extra-premium 250g

A treasure from Southern Xinjiang
Our grey jujubes are harvested from the high-altitude plains of Ruoqiang and Aksu, where the sun shines more than 300 days a year and cold nights concentrate the flavors. The result: incredibly delicate flesh, a natural sugar content of almost 70%, and that melt-in-your-mouth texture that distinguishes the finest jujubes.

Why "grey"? A guarantee of purity
Even before ripening, each jujube is covered with a fine greyish-white bloom – a veil of wax and sugar that the tree secretes 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 with:

• Thin skin like tissue paper,

• Thick and moist flesh,

• Microscopic pit for enjoyment without waste,

• Sweet, potent, long-lasting flavor – a true dried fruit candy.

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

• No need to wash (it's already pure)

• No need to spit out (the pit is gone),

• No need to cook (eat it as is, or immerse it in your tea, porridge, or slip it into a nut for an exceptional snack).

Ideal for:

• Healthy and energetic snacks,

• Small cravings while working remotely,

• Gourmet infusions,

• Fine gifts for connoisseurs of rare products.

1. An ally for energy and vitality

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

2. Support for the digestive system

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

3. An asset for sleep, anxiety, and stress

This is one of its most recognized benefits. Jujube has sedative and relaxing properties that help combat insomnia, calm the nervous system, and reduce stress and anxiety . In TCM, it is used to calm the mind (Shen) .

4. An antioxidant and protective shield

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

5. A benefit for the cardiovascular system

Its content of potassium, antioxidants, and other bioactive compounds contributes to regulating blood pressure and improving blood vessel health . 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 problems or weight gain) .

• At-risk individuals :

  • Diabetics : To be consumed in moderation due to sugar content .

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

  • People taking antidepressants or anticonvulsants : Seek medical advice .

Washed 6 times and pitted, it can be enjoyed without preparation. We have also had its pesticide content checked by 46 independent analyses – a requirement we apply to all our products.
