Stone Apple / Taiwan Jujube – Large, Crisp and Juicy

This large Taiwanese variety of Ziziphus mauritiana Lam. produces striking green fruit around the size of a green apple. Also known as Taiwan Jujube or Indian Jujube, it has smooth green skin and crisp, juicy white flesh with a sweet, refreshing bite.

Why You'll Like Stone Apple:

Generously Sized Fruit:
A large-fruited Taiwanese variety with plenty of crisp flesh around its central stone.

A Fresh, Apple-Like Crunch:
Sweet, mild and refreshing, with a texture reminiscent of an apple or crisp pear. Enjoy it firm for the best crunch.

Easy to Enjoy:
Wash and eat fresh with the skin on, or slice around the hard central stone and add to a fruit plate.

Choose Your Quantity:
Available as 1 fruit, or in 500 g, 1 kg and 2 kg packs. A single fruit is estimated at approximately 200 g; actual size and weight vary naturally. Pack weights refer to whole fruit, including the stone.

Perfect Ripeness Guide:
Enjoy while firm, with green to pale yellow-green skin. This variety is prized for its crisp texture; there is no need to wait for it to soften or turn brown.

How to Eat:
Rinse before eating. The skin and flesh are edible. Cut around the centre and discard the hard stone.

Storage:
Keep refrigerated and dry, and wash just before eating. Enjoy promptly for the best crunch. Cover and refrigerate cut fruit.
