Sourcing:
These organically grown, jumbo-size jujube dates are from Southern Xin Jiang, China, a region known for its beautiful, sweet, ruby-like jujube dates. The plant has been growing in Xin Jiang for more than 8000 years and they flourish due to the abundance of sunlight and the unique desert climate in that region. Unlike conventional dates that are dried in a factory and preserved with sulfate, these jujubes are dried naturally in the open air of Xin Jiang and are not processed with sulfate.
