How to Enjoy

1. Healthy Snacking:
Rinse and eat them whole! The chewy texture and sweet flavor make them an addictive, guilt-free treat.

2. Jujube Tea (Daechu-cha):
Simmer 10–15 dates in 1 liter of water for 30–60 minutes. Mash the dates to release more flavor. Drink warm for a soothing, relaxing experience, especially before bed.

3. Cooking (Samgyetang & Stews):
Essential for Korean Ginseng Chicken Soup (Samgyetang) or Galbi-jjim (Braised Short Ribs). The dates absorb impurities while imparting natural sweetness to the broth.
