What is this food?
Dried jujube (Indian/Chinese date) — a sweet, chewy dried fruit often used as a snack or added to drinks and desserts.
Why it matters to health
Dried jujube is naturally sweet and provides carbohydrates and fiber (about 6.2 g per 100 g), which can help you feel fuller and support regular digestion. It also has very low fat and no cholesterol. However, it’s also high in sugar (about 70.3 g per 100 g) and calories (333 kcal per 100 g), so portion size matters—especially if you’re having it as a snack alongside your 3 full meals and 1–2 snacks a day.
Healthier tips
- Keep servings small (e.g., a small handful) and treat it as a snack add-on, not a main food.
- Pair it with something that has protein or healthy fats to balance your snack (e.g., a small serving of yogurt or a handful of nuts).
- If you’re watching sugar intake, choose less frequent portions and avoid combining it with other sweet snacks in the same day.
- For drinks, use a few pieces for flavor instead of soaking a large amount.
