>Indian jujube

I was at the ZEV symposium with dad today. A beautiful day in Sacramento. I was happy to see the Farmers market nearby, in Cesar Chavez park. Bought $2 worth of Indian jujubes (Chinese dates? Ziziphus mauritiana) which resemble miniature apples. They taste like them, too. A perfect snack - crunchy and sweet, and not too sweet. No sticky mess.

They dry well when sliced thin, and make excellent Turkish-style fruit tea.
