How to choose good dates? How to choose high quality jujubes

First of all, I think we can judge the quality of jujubes by looking at their color. I don't have much life experience, so my parents usually tell us how to buy things. Parents say that jujubes should be selected for darker colors.

Because the color of the jujube is darker, it means that the jujube is more mature, and the sugar content of the jujube itself is relatively high, and we taste sweeter.

Actually, I want to say that you have to touch everything with your hands when you buy things, and the real red dates are harder to pinch by hand, and they are not too rough. And the red dates that are not good, we will be relatively soft when we touch them, and they are a little grinding.

Then, I prefer to eat jujubes without seeds, but my mother doesn't like me to buy them, because she thinks that these jujubes without seeds are handled manually or by machine and are not very hygienic, so we generally don't buy jujubes without pitting. My mom said that the smaller the jujube seeds with seeds, the better, because there is more flesh in the jujubes.

Finally, there is another way to identify the quality of jujubes, but if we use this method to buy our jujubes, the quality has been determined, but we can prevent the next time we are deceived. That is, if a good jujube is boiled in a pot, and the shape remains intact after it is cooked, it means that it is a good jujube, and if the shape is all scattered after cooking, it is an inferior jujube.

I believe that many people like to eat red dates, but many people are still not very good at choosing red dates. Some jujubes fall off before they are ripe, and they do not ripen naturally and turn red, so the taste will be lacking.

The appearance of jujubes is still to be selected, good jujubes are dried after ripening, and the color is purple-red; Bad, moth-eaten jujubes will find small cavities on the epidermis and roots.

And rub it with your hands. Large red dates with good color are more solid, indicating that the meat is thick, and on the contrary, the skin is more fleshy and hard.

Break the red dates, the color of the flesh is uniform, not black, not brown, not moth, no peculiar smell, put it in the mouth to taste, the sweetness is moderate, not bitter, not astringent.

Jujube has many functions and is also good for the human body. But red dates should also be chosen well. First of all, good jujubes are generally larger, large jujubes will be sweeter, small jujubes will be shriveled together after drying, and there is no appetite when I look at it.

Some red dates are even a little bitter, not tasty, and <>

And the big red dates I eat at home are not only very sweet, but also very affected, and the whole bowl of porridge is filled with the fragrance of red dates. There is also more meat in the larger jujubes, and it will be heavier. Because there is a lot of meat in it, his seeds will be easily removed, and he doesn't want to laugh at the seeds of red dates, so it's not easy to go.

You can also choose by eating dry, dry eating is delicious, not astringent red dates, this variety will be delicious, good red dates are also very light fragrance, burned out to smell very fragrant. Inferior red dates may have a strong flavor when boiled, just like the heavy flavor of essence, which is not good.

1. Look at the color of the jujubes.

The color of a good jujube is purple-red, and the color of the jujube skin is darker, a bit like the color of red wine. And the color is relatively uniform and shiny, and the shape of a deep piece and a shallow piece rarely appears. Most of the jujubes with slightly worse quality are dark red, with no obvious surface luster, uneven color, and some of them have black on the surface.

Sometimes the uneven color of jujubes may be caused by too long storage time or insects, so we should pay attention to avoid these two kinds of jujubes when selecting.

2. Look at the shape of jujubes.

The shape of a good jujube is generally uniform, oval or spherical, with fine wrinkles on the surface and no damage. Inferior jujubes, on the other hand, have uneven particle size, lose more moisture on the surface, and the fruits are shriveled, with deep wrinkles on them, and sometimes they are damaged.

3. Look at the cut surface.

There is also a difference between the red jujube and the poor quality when cutting, most of the good jujube when cut is relatively neat, the jujube core is small, the jujube meat is thick, the tightness is moderate, and the throat will not be stuck when eating. The inferior jujube generally shrinks a little more severely, and the cut surface will look dry up after cutting, and it is a little loose, the jujube core is larger, the jujube meat is rough, and the throat will sometimes be stuck when eaten.

4. Taste.

The quality of jujube directly affects its taste, generally speaking, high-quality jujube tastes sweet, the taste is good, the jujube meat is delicate and non-sticky, and there is no miscellaneous taste. The poor-quality jujubes feel dry and dry, the taste is not good, the sweetness is not enough or with a sour and astringent taste, and sometimes residues will be left on the teeth after eating, and there are some inferior jujubes, which have a strange taste when eaten.

5. The size of the jujube.

Small jujubes don't taste too much pulp, and the taste is average. And the big jujubes have thick flesh and a lot of them, and they look fat too. When you choose, you should choose more large ones.

1. Look at the place of origin.

2. Look at the color.

3. Look at the sweetness.

Empirical Steps:1. Look at the origin: The best production areas of jujube are Shandong, Shanxi, Hebei, Xinjiang, northern Shaanxi and Gansu.

2. Look at the color: When buying jujubes, you should pay attention to the color of jujubes. If the color is too dull, it is not good in condition and quality. So be sure to choose red dates with good color.

3. Look at the sweetness: When buying jujubes, if you ask for the consent of the merchant. You can take a jujube and lick the skin of the jujube with your tongue. If the skin is sweet, don't buy it. Because the sugar content of jujube is distributed in the jujube flesh.

1. Look at the appearance of jujubes. High-quality jujube is very full overall, and there are fewer cracks. When choosing, choose more ones with smooth skin and no scars.

2. When picking jujubes, don't blindly pay attention to the size of the jujube, but look at the fullness of the whole jujube. Small jujubes don't taste too much pulp, and the taste is average. And the big jujubes have thick flesh and a lot of them, and they look fat too.

You can pinch the jujube with your hands, if you feel that the outer skin is very soft, but the flesh inside is very full, then it is a good jujube.

3. The skin of a good jujube is purple and red, the particles are large and uniform, the fruit shape is short and round, there are few wrinkles, and the traces are shallow; The skin is thin and the core is small, and the flesh is thick and fine; If there are many wrinkles, deep marks, and the fruit shape is concave, the meat quality is poor and the dried product made of unripe fresh dates. The darker the color, the sweeter. Many people mistakenly think that the color of jujube is related to its freshness, and the darker the color, the older it is.

But in fact, once the jujube is removed, the color of its skin changes very little. The sweetness of the jujube can be judged by the color of the epidermis. The darker the color, the higher the ripeness and the sweeter it is.

4. If there are perforations at the end of the pedicle of the jujube or there is a brown or dark brown powder sticky, it means that the jujube has been eaten by insects. When eating, remove insect feces and rotten dates.

5. The taste and feel of jujubes. Taste sweet, pinch the jujube tightly with your hand, if you feel slippery and glutinous and not loose bubbles, it means that the quality is fine and firm, the jujube body is dry, and the core is small; If the sweetness is poor, there is a sour and astringent taste, pinched by hand, soft and rough, the quality is poor, if it is wet and soft and sticky, it means that the jujube body is more humid, not durable to store, and easy to rot and deteriorate.

6. The darker the color, the sweeter. Many people mistakenly think that the color of jujube is related to its freshness, and the darker the color, the older it is. But in fact, once the jujube is removed, the color of its skin changes very little.

The sweetness of the jujube can be judged by the color of the epidermis. The darker the color, the higher the ripeness and the sweeter it is.

7. Look at the jujube meat. You can break the jujube to see the jujube flesh inside, inferior or softened jujubes, the part of the jujube flesh that is broken after breaking is brown, and the intact jujubes, the whole jujube flesh is a hue.
