Jujube - "Annab" - Imported from Birjand

Persian Basket proudly offers high quality "Annab" just imported from Khorasan (this year's crop). "Annab" is a wonder fruit! The fruit and its seeds are used in ancient Persian, Chinese and Korean traditional medicine, where they are believed to alleviate stress. Jujube has traditionally been used for anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-ulcer, anti-inflammatory purposes. It is also believed to have sedative, antispastic, antifertility/contraception, hypotensive and antinephritic, cardiotonic, antioxidant, immunostimulant, and wound healing properties! A controlled clinical trial found the fruit helpful for chronic constipation. In another clinical trial, jujube was proved to be effective against neonatal jaundice. In Persian traditional medicine it is used in combination with other herbal medicines to treat colds, flu and coughing. Research suggests jujube fruit has neuroprotective properties. The fruit, being mucilaginous, is very soothing to the throat and concoctions of jujube have often been used in pharmacy to treat sore throats. 3 oz
