Description/Taste
Li jujubes are a larger variety, averaging 3 to 5 centimeters in diameter, and have a round to ovate shape. The skin is firm, smooth, and thin, transitioning from green when immature to yellow-green, red-brown, to mahogany when mature. Li jujubes are considered edible in their yellow-green phase, and as the fruit matures, the skin may bear variegated hues of green, yellow, and brown depending on the degree of ripeness. Underneath the surface, the flesh is crisp, grainy, airy, and semi-aqueous with a snap-like quality similar to an apple. There is also a small pit found in the center of the pale green to white flesh. Li jujubes have a high sugar content, contributing to the fruit’s very sweet taste, and also contain lower amounts of acidity to create subtle tangy notes.
