    Winter jujube is not ripe: If the winter jujube is not fully ripe and is picked and sold, it will not taste very sweet, the moisture will not be enough, and the skin will have a green bitter taste;

    It may be saccharin bezoars: If winter jujubes taste sweet, or even sweet to bitterness, then it is very likely that saccharin bezoars were bought. Blanch the unripe green jujube in hot water, and the winter jujube will immediately ripen and turn red, and then soak the reddened jujube in saccharin water for a few hours, and the jujube will become red and sweet, and even sweet to bitterness.

    Eating too much of this saccharin jujube is not good for health, and it is not easy to preserve;

    Rotting and deterioration: Winter jujube is not stored properly or stored for too long and is infected by bacteria, and when there is rot and deterioration, it will also make winter jujube bitter to eat.

    Many jujube farmers are in a hurry to go to market when the jujube is not very ripe, so they spray it with some ripening pesticides to make the immature jujube go on the market too early, and the unripe jujube will have a bitter taste.

    Second, if the jujube is sweet and bitter, and the aftertaste is bitter after eating, then you may accidentally buy "saccharin jujube".

    Cleaning of the outer skin of winter dates.

    1. Soak the dates in water, salt water or rice water for 10-20 minutes, if you are worried about residual substances, if there is starch, you can pour half a spoon of cornstarch into the water. This can remove pesticide residues and bacteria on the fruit to the greatest extent, which is also relatively healthy and safer.

    2. After changing the water, wash it with clean water and rinse it with running water a few times.

    3. Don't pull out the jujube on it, otherwise it will seep water, and you can take it off when you wash it and eat it.

    There are three reasons why dates are bitter, which are: not ripe, soaked in saccharin, and rotten and spoiled.

    1. Not mature.

    Nowadays, in order to facilitate the transportation of dates, some fruit farmers will pick the dates when they are only 7-8 years ripe, and if the dates are not fully ripe, they will taste bitter.

    2. Soak saccharin.

    Nowadays, jujubes taste sweeter, and some unscrupulous merchants will soak unsweet jujubes in saccharin, which can improve the sweetness of jujubes, but if the soaking time is too long or the saccharin concentration is too high, it will make the jujube taste bitter.

    3. Decay and deterioration.

    When jujubes are not stored properly or stored for too long and are infected by bacteria, they will also be rotten and deteriorated, which will also make jujubes bitter to eat.

    1. Saccharin jujube: If it is bitter, it may be due to soaking saccharin water, and some merchants will use saccharin water to soak jujube in order to make the green jujube look better, so that the skin of the jujube becomes red and the taste becomes sweet. If too much saccharin sodium is used, the skin of the jujube may be sweet and bitter, and if the jujube is sweet and bitter, and the aftertaste is bitter after eating, then it may be that you have purchased "saccharin jujube".

    2. Insufficient maturity: The bitterness of winter jujube may also be due to insufficient maturity, many jujube farmers are eager to go to market when the jujube is not yet ripe, and will spray it with some ripening pesticides, so that the immature jujube will be listed too early, and the unripe jujube will have a bitter taste.

    3. Unsuitable growth conditions: When the conditions for the growth of fruit trees are unsuitable for the growth of jujube in cultivation conditions, or when the weather, temperature, drought and other reasons appear, the phenolic compounds such as bitterness will accumulate too much, and they are mainly concentrated on the skin of the jujube, which greatly affects the taste and taste, resulting in poor taste, bitterness and astringency. If this happens, you have to throw it away immediately, and if the taste is not good, it will not taste good.
