The jujube is the protagonist!

At the end of the AbanoRitz park, towards the street, there are some Jujubes trees whose foliages are shining and with small leaves. The main tree is older then 35 years and still grows luxuriant along the strong perimeter wall which was built in the 70s; whereas, nearby, next to the grapevine, the 10 years old trees peep out.

This ornamental plant which growth is very slow is originally from Siria and is known for the “Jujube broth”: a liquor made of withered jujubes fruits, quince apples, eggs, wine, sugar and grated lemon peels. The alcohol content is very low since the the wine is just used as a flavor and it evaporates throughout the cooking.

The jujube tree arrived in Italy around 1660 and now it’s typical in the Euganean Hills where every year, in the fruits maturation season, at the beginning of October, in Arquà Petrarca takes place the “Jujube Festival”. The jujube is a nice and exclusive product with a tasty and sweet taste whose juice is used for making jams and biscuits.

Jujubes have many properties: they are full of vitamin C, phosphorus and iron. The help digesting, sleeping; they calm anxiety and pain and most of all these fruits are also useful in case of constipation and high pressure.
