Description
Pitted Red Date Slices (Ziziphus jujuba) are the dried, pit-removed fruit rings of the jujube tree, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Hóng Zǎo (红枣) and honored for centuries as the 'fruit of longevity.' Grown in Xinjiang and prepared in Bozhou, Anhui, these ring-cut slices keep the fruit's naturally sweet flesh intact while removing the pit for effortless daily use. Its nature is sweet and warm, making it a gentle, nourishing food herb traditionally used to tonify qi and blood, harmonize the spleen and stomach, and calm the spirit.

Each ring is evenly sliced and gently dried to preserve its deep reddish-brown color, soft leathery texture, and glossy, slightly sticky surface.

When steeped or simmered, the slices soften and release a rich, caramel-like sweetness that deepens broths and teas without any added sugar.
