On a recent farmers market trip, I came across a tantalizing fruit I'd never encountered before: fresh jujube dates. While not particularly common in the US, this variety of date is a favorite throughout much of Asia and is most commonly eaten fresh out of hand, dried, or candied. With a texture and flavor somewhat similar to an apple - but drier, less dense, and almost mealy - this novel fruit may not be one I'll return to anytime soon, but it was fun to try, nonetheless.
