Fresh jujube tastes lightly sweet and crisp, like a mild apple, while dried jujube is chewy and sweet with a date-like flavor.

Wash fresh jujubes and eat them whole like an apple, spitting out the pit. They can also be sliced into fruit plates or salads.

First, it doesn't match the picture. Also, you really shouldn't buy too many at once; too many and half the dates in one box will taste like fermented rice, and the rest will be rotten.
