In addition, jujubes can also help inhibit the effects of hepatitis for those who suffer from this disease.

It has high nutritional value whether it is consumed as dried fruit, as part of dessert, or as a snack. It has many nutritional benefits when consumed daily, however, diabetics should monitor their intake due to the high natural sugar content.
