June 21, 2010 - PRLog -- Indian Jujube (Zizyphus mauritiana), also calle jujube, Chines date or tsao, is native from Southern China to India but can be found in many other warmer countries. It differs from its more popular cousin, Chinese jujube, which is the hardier species that`s grown in cooler countries.
Depending on the various cultivars, it can be round, oval or oblong. The immature jujube is green, ripens to yellowish-green. It will turn fully brown or red when mature and starts to wrinkle when overripes.

It can be eaten whole, minus the single stone, at any of the ripening stages. Crisp, mildly sweet to astringent when green to yellow but soft, sweet and mealy when it ripens. It is usually smaller and not as sweet as the common(Chinese) jujubes.
