1) Observe the appearance: After the real jujube is ripe and marketed, because the fruit is full, the appearance of the fruit is less wrinkled, the color is purple-red, and the color is bright. The largest fruit is the size of an egg.

2) Feel: A really ripe and dry jujube, gently pinched to the feel is elastic, and after a little force, you will immediately feel the substantial flesh.

1.Look: The dates are large and complete, the silk is evenly striped, the color is yellow and transparent, and the frosting is obvious. Small and untidy, the silk is rough and uneven, and the color is yellow and dark. If the color is brown or dark black, the quality is poor.

2.Taste: When tasting, the entrance is crispy and fluffy, the meat is thick and glutinous, the sweetness is pure, and the slightly fragrant one is the top grade; The entrance is stiff, and the sweetness is impure; If the taste is sour, it will deteriorate.

3.Try: If there is a feeling of dryness when pinching by hand, the quality is good, if there is a feeling of moisture and softness, it means that the jujube body is not dry, and it is easy to pan sugar and marinade; If there is a sticky feel, it means that the jujube body is too wet, the quality is poor, and it is difficult to ensure the quality.

I don't see how to identify the true and false, first of all, we have to look at its color, the fullness of the second insertion, the other is orange, and its taste, well, so to identify the truth of the secret opinion, on the one hand, we have to look at the color of his own candied fruit orange and its saturation, taste and so on.

How to choose jujubes:

1. Look at the color.

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.

By the color of the skin, we can judge the sweetness of the date. The darker the color, the higher the ripeness and the sweeter it is.

2. Look at the fullness.

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. Is there a wormhole?

There is no moth with a stalk at the top. The sugar content of jujube is usually 60%-80%, and it is easily eaten by insects. If there is no stalk at the top, you need to pay attention, if there are small holes, it is eaten by insects. You can also pinch it with your hands, and the flesh will feel soft and empty, or it may be moth-eaten.

4. Look at the appearance.

High-quality jujube is very full overall, and there are fewer cracks. When you choose, you can choose more ones with smooth skin and no scars.

5. 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.

6. Taste.

You can try one first when you buy it. If it's sweet, then it's a good jujube. Jujubes that are too sweet are not recommended for everyone to buy. Generally sweet is fine.

Brightly colored dates may be fake: normal dates are generally dark red, and those that are too bright red and shiny may have been smoked.
