Thank you for sharing this recipe! I’m curious, what do jujubes taste like? Do you eat them or are they just for flavoring the broth?

So they have an earthy mild fruit taste, like an extremely toned down / less sweet version of a date. They're honestly kind of spongey lol. They're really a health food. My mom eats them dried for a healthy super food snack, but it's much more enjoyable to drink in a soup for the health benefits! :) - Kaitlin
