Product Name: Panzao Jujube
Description:
Panzao is a premium fresh-eating jujube variety, named for its distinctive flat-round fruit that resembles a miniature flat peach. Officially granted Plant Variety Rights in 2019, this variety has become a rising star in China's jujube market, known for its unique appearance, exceptional sweetness, and easy-care cultivation.
A Jujube Unlike Any Other:
The most striking feature of Panzao is its unusual flat-round shape. While ordinary jujubes are oval or elongated, Panzao produces fruit with a shape index below 0.85 – wider than it is tall – with a characteristic star-shaped depression at the top. This distinctive appearance makes it an instant standout in any fruit display.
Flavor & Texture:
Panzao delivers an outstanding eating experience with crisp, dense, and juicy flesh that is intensely sweet with a pleasant hint of tartness. Soluble solids content reaches 28%–35% Brix – significantly sweeter than ordinary winter jujubes. The fruit is rich in vitamin C, containing 200–500 mg per 100g of fresh fruit.
