Dried Jujube - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Dried Jujube

• Fresh and dried fruit: Drying removes water from the fruit. Compared at the same weight, dried fruit is more concentrated than fresh jujube; the fresh-fruit calorie value should not be used for a dried portion.
• Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming dried jujube alone, consuming it with a food containing protein or healthy fats can help balance blood sugar. For example, it can be consumed with a handful of almonds or walnuts.
• Things to Consider: Dried jujube is a more concentrated source of energy than fresh jujube. 5 pieces of dried jujube are equivalent to approximately one small serving of fruit. It is important for people with diabetes in particular to pay attention to portion control.
• Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from dried jujube, you need to walk for about 30 minutes. This is a simple exercise that you can add to your daily activity routine.
