In addition, according to the shape, it can be divided into jujube and jujube. Generally, Junzao is larger, which is called Jujube, and Huizao is called Jujube.
There are too many varieties of jujube in China, but according to the natural geographical environment and planting conditions, it is generally said that the special environment of long sunshine time and large temperature difference between morning and evening in Xinjiang is unique, so the fruits and vegetables are generally high in sugar content and mature and full. So basically, the best varieties of red dates are produced in Xinjiang. Now let's introduce the characteristics of Xinjiang red dates.
Hami jujube: The most traditional jujube in Xinjiang should be Hami jujube. Hami jujube has a history of more than 2, years, and it was called "fragrant jujube" in ancient times. Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, tasted Hami Jujube and made it a tribute to the royal family. Hami jujube is a traditional famous jujube, with the highest iron content among Xinjiang jujubes. Mature jujube is round in shape, big in head, super-ping-pong-sized, and deep purple. A good Hami jujube will soon return to its original state and its flesh will be full. Direct eating tastes sweet but slightly bitter, so the market has become smaller and smaller in recent years, and it has been surpassed by Xinjiang Junzao and Huizao. In fact, Hami jujube has the strongest medicinal function, and it is the best to make soup and soak in water to prepare nutritious meals.
Huizao: The representative of Huizao is Ruoqiang Jujube, which is produced in Ruoqiang County, Bazhou, Xinjiang. It is called Huizao because it is not the bright red color we usually see when it is about to mature, but the color is gray, just like it is covered with frost, so we gave it a simple and popular name, Huizao.
ruoqiang county, located in the hinterland of Eurasia, is a typical warm temperate desert arid climate, with an altitude of 846 meters, dry and hot climate, long sunshine time and large daily temperature difference. Jujube trees have the characteristics of liking light and heat, which is very suitable for jujube planting. Ruoqiang County has established Xinjiang Loulan Jujube Industry Co., Ltd. (Xinjiang Loulan Fruit Industry Co., Ltd.), Xinjiang Ruoqiang Altun Jujube Professional Cooperative and Xinjiang Ruoqiang Zimu River Jujube Industry Co., Ltd., and registered a series of brand trademarks with regional cultural characteristics of Ruoqiang, such as Loulan, Altun and Zimu River. At present, the largest local company is Xinjiang Loulan Fruit Industry Co., Ltd., and the Loulan red dates produced represent the fine products of Ruoqiang red dates.
ruoqiang jujube has a very good pulp texture. If you carefully taste the sweetness of a spring water, the jujube meat is delicate, small, thin and tender, and the taste is very pure. Mature jujube can only be harvested after being hung on a tree for half-drying. It is a very famous jujube variety in Xinjiang. Generally, there are two or three grades, the size is about 2.5 cm, which is much smaller than Junzao, but the pure taste has been selling well. Hunan, Hubei, Guangxi, Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang have the largest sales, but in recent years, the north has slowly begun to change from Hetian jujube to Ruoqiang jujube.
Junzao: This kind of jujube is the most familiar jujube, and its representative is Hetian Jade Jujube produced by Kunlun Mountain Jujube Industry Co., Ltd. In the 199s, there were basically no jujubes in Hetian area. In the late 199s, the state invested to build the Wuluwati Water Control Project, which is a large-scale water control project with comprehensive utilization benefits such as irrigation, power generation, flood control, urban and rural water supply and ecological protection. After the completion of the project, the water problem of the Construction Corps and Hetian Pishan and Moyu Farm was solved. The 224th regiment of the 14th Agricultural Division joined forces with outstanding talents from all over the country to vigorously develop jujube planting and jujube industrial park, introduced Shanxi Junzao and other varieties of jujube, and established Hetian Kunlun Mountain Jujube Industry Co., Ltd. in 25, which produced Kunlun Mountain Hetian Jade Jujube, Kunlun Jade Jujube and Hetian Jade Jujube, and started to sell them on Taobao in 27. After 29, the online and offline hot flashes quickly, with large appearance and thick meat, and the taste quality is better than that of Junzao, which originated in Shanxi. Moreover, the Corps enterprises are under unified management and all kinds of resources are complete, which is generally better than that of individual farmers. Unfortunately, Kunlun Yuzao personally thinks that it is better than Hetian Yuzao, and it is Zanhuang Jujube, but its appearance is not good, so it has never been made. Now it is rare in the market, and its greatest contribution is to drive the forestry and fruit industry in Xinjiang to the national market. 7% of the dried jujubes you buy online are Jun jujubes, and they are basically Xinjiang Jun jujubes. Xinjiang Jun Jujubes are characterized by one word, which is big. On average, each Jun jujube can reach about 15 grams, and the super jujube can reach about 25 grams. Because of its size, this kind of jujube has more edible parts, which can be said to be very enjoyable to eat. In 26, I was shocked when I first saw the six-star Hetian jade jujube. It was really about the size of an egg, and it subverted the traditional way of eating jujube. It can be eaten as a leisure snack, which virtually opened up the jujube market. Hetian jade jujube may not be the first to be developed, but it is indeed the first hero to carry forward jujube in Xinjiang.
Because of the leading demonstration function of Hetian jujube, more and more people are planting Junzao in Xinjiang, and the largest producing area is Aksu, which is the region with the richest water resources in Xinjiang, with the largest fruit area, large output and low price. Aksu jujube is generally thicker in skin and larger in stone, but its price advantage is obvious, so a series of names such as Hetian jujube, Hetian jujube, Xinjiang jujube and Xinjiang Junzao are Junzao, and they are basically Junzao in Shanxi.
However, compared with Huizao, Junzao tastes a little worse. After careful tasting, it will pan-sour in the mouth, and its sweetness is lower than Huizao, but Huizao is smaller, not as big as Junzao and easy to bluff, but its taste is much purer than Hetianzao. Hetian area, because this place is an important producing area of Hetian jade, the name Hetian jade jujube also increases consumers' awareness, so Hetian jade jujube in Junzao is the most famous.
There are several provinces producing red dates in China, such as Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Gansu and Xinjiang, etc. Why do Xinjiang's red dates taste the best? Even the most common Aksu series is generally better than other places, mainly because the natural environment is special, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and the illumination time is long. It seems to be particularly suitable for plant growth, and the fruits are full and big, just like Turpan, which is rich in grapes. It is often over 4 degrees in summer. Jujube varies greatly from place to place in Xinjiang. Jujube is better in water-deficient places, and the government and the Corps are generally better than retail investors.
The grades of Xinjiang jujube are generally different according to the size of the head. For the same variety, the super grade is the largest, followed by the first, second and third grades. Besides, individuals can just buy the second and third grades, and the price is cheaper. There are more immature ones below the third grade. Choosing dates depends on both appearance and fullness. Generally, you can buy Hetian jujube if you don't eat it often, and Ruoqiang jujube if you eat it often. Even if some dates in famous places such as Hetian and Ruoqiang are not very good, there may be good dates in ordinary places. The oldest jujube in Xinjiang is Hami jujube, which is said to be more than 15 years old, while Hetian jujube is only more than ten years old, so dare you say it has been since ancient times? Maybe somewhere in Xinjiang, there will be more dates than now.
generally speaking, Xinjiang jujube has the largest sales volume of Hetian jujube, Hami jujube has the best medicinal effect, Ruoqiang jujube has the best taste, and Loulan jujube is the representative of Ruoqiang jujube. You can eat it directly or soak it in water to make soup, so you can choose according to your needs.
