Statistical Analysis Its precise natural distribution is uncertain due to extensive cultivation, but its origin is thought to be in southwest Asia, between Lebanon, northern India, and southern and central China, and possibly also southeastern Europe though more likely introduced there. [5] It grows wild but is also a garden shrub, kept for its fruit. of Life Science and Center for Chinese Medicine, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong, China

Jujube tree is important in Hinduism too as Vishnu is worshipped in a major temple, in Badrinath, from the Sanskrit compound Badarīnātha, consisting of the terms badarī ( jujube tree) and nātha (lord), an epithet of Vishnu. [38] It is also known as Badarikashrama. Jujube are naturally sweet, and heralded as a superfood in Chinese medicine and diet - they are very high in vitamins, and are believed to help build up strength - the yang side of the ying yang balance. These red jujube dates are seedless, meaning you don't have to pit them before eating.It comes down to the pros and the cons of nutritional benefits versus accessibility,” Thomsen Ferreira advises. “You can get a similar amount of vitamin C and potassium from other foods that are more readily available in certain areas than jujube.” Sometimes pieces of jujube fruit are preserved by storing them in a jar filled with baijiu (Chinese liquor), which allows them to be kept fresh for a long time, especially through the winter. Such jujubes are called zui zao (醉枣; literally "drunk jujube"). The fruit is also a significant ingredient in a wide variety of Chinese delicacies (e.g. 甑糕 jing gao, a steamed rice cake). In Croatia, especially Dalmatia, jujubes are used in marmalades, juices, and rakija (fruit brandy). The binomial name has a curious nomenclatural history, due to a combination of botanical naming regulations, and variations in spelling. It was first named in the binomial system by Carl Linnaeus as Rhamnus zizyphus, in Species Plantarum (1753). Philip Miller, in his Gardener's Dictionary, considered that the jujube and its relatives were sufficiently distinct from Rhamnus to be placed in a separate genus (as it had already been by the pre-Linnaean author Tournefort in 1700), and in the 1768 edition he gave it the name Ziziphus jujuba (using Tournefort's spelling for the genus name). For the species name, he used a different name, as tautonyms (repetition of exactly the same name in the genus and species) are not permitted in botanical naming. However, because of Miller's slightly different spelling, the combination of the earlier species name (from Linnaeus) with the new genus, Ziziphus zizyphus, is not a tautonym, and was therefore permitted as a botanical name. This combination was made by Hermann Karsten in 1882. [5] [10] In 2006, a proposal was made to suppress the name Ziziphus zizyphus in favor of Ziziphus jujuba, [11] and this proposal was accepted in 2011. [12] Ziziphus jujuba is thus the correct scientific name for this species. Sleep: Among jujube’s top uses in traditional medicine practices is to improve sleep. The thinking is that some components in jujube may affect your body’s serotonin system. One study showed one of the major components of jujube increased sleep significantly in animal models.

Jujube fruits are a rich source of compounds such as flavonoids, polysaccharides, and triterpenic acids. Some of these compounds have antioxidant properties.Flavinoids found in the fruits include Kaempferol 3-O-rutinoside, Quercetine 3-O-robinobioside, Quercetine 3-O-rutinoside. Terpenoids such as colubrinic acid and alphitolic acid were found in the fruits. [7] Taxonomy [ edit ] Laboratory of Plasma Application Technology, Institute of Advanced Technology, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, China One of the traditional medicinal uses of jujube is as a laxative. While there’s been little research on its laxative effect on people, you may want to be careful with the amount of jujube fruit that you eat.

Jujube fruit is shaped something like a small, wrinkly pear and has a taste and texture similar to an apple. And, like apples, there are hundreds of varieties of jujubes. They range in size: Some are as small as a cherry, while others are closer to the size of a plum. As for taste, that can vary, too — from sweet to tart and anywhere in between.In addition, jujube was reported to contain numerous minerals, e.g., iron and vitamin. About 0.48mg iron and 69mg vitamin C per 100g of fresh fruit were reported ( Li et al., 2007; USDA, 2012). Thus, the daily intake of jujube could increase our dietary iron and vitamin, as to prevent anemia due to deficiency of iron or vitamin C. Moreover, cAMP was found to have high abundance in jujube, and surprisingly this content was much higher than other horticultural fruits ( Hanabusa et al., 1981). It is well accepted that increasing cAMP level can stimulate protein kinase A and, subsequently, which phosphorylates CREB ( Argyrousi et al., 2020). Besides, jujube cAMP has been found to possess anti-melancholic effect in animal model of depression ( Chi and Zhang, 2009). Thus, it is supposed that the cAMP in the jujube may account for its role on HIF (hypoxia inducible factor)-dependent EPO induction. Jujube on Erythropoiesis
