Dried Orange

Not many people know about the Jujube - sometimes it is known as the red or the Chinese date. But more people should because it is a tasty and nutritious fruit. But they do contain a lot of natural sugars - so don't eat too much of them! Some research shows that Jujubes may have some health benefits, such as boosting immunity and aiding digestion. Below are some links. But enjoy it as a snack with a hot or cold drink of your choice - but don't eat the seeds!  

Figs have been enjoyed for thousands of years and have developed an association with erotic art. But besides being tasty, dried figs are also nutritious and contain healthy amounts of dietary fiber, manganese and other trace elements.

This combination of exotic dried fruit makes a tasty trail mix. Delicious chunks of dried cranberries, kiwis, strawberries, apples, plums, figs and mangos provide a range of antioxidants and vitamins and an energy boost. Stir a spoonful or two into the cereal. Stirred into warm oatmeal - these add favor and nutrition to a midwinter breakfast.
