Jujube Purée: Sweetness from Tongzhou County, Weinan City

　　The Dali County, in the southeastern part of Weinan (in Shaanxi Province, China), was originally known as Tongzhou. In its south, the Shayuan area has been enjoying widespread fame for the local jujubes since as early as Han Dynasty（B.C.202-8,23-220）. Here, the jujube trees grow in particularly favorable natural conditions and thus abound with Maya jujubes of superior quality. Each Maya jujube, about the size and shape of a pigeon egg, has lustrously red skin as thin as paper, crispy texture, a sweet aroma and an apple-like flavor. On top of its fresh taste, it also has multiple health benefits on spleen, stomach, blood circulation, vitality as well as appearance.

　　The cooking of jujube Purée consists of three parts: smashing jujube flesh, stewing beans and red beans and making flour batters.

　　In chilly winter days, a bowl of hot Jujube Purée will immediately warm you up and enchant you by its sweetness, silky smoothness and endless aftertaste.
