A tree can cure hangover and rheumatism

The alias of jujube is longevity fruit and bitter orange. I believe most middle-aged and elderly people have heard of it. Because the shape of its fruit resembles the swastika "卍", the tree is called the longevity fruit tree. The fruit can be eaten raw when ripe. The flesh is juicy, without a core, and the seeds are exposed outside the flesh. The pulp tastes sweet and slightly astringent. It can also be used to make soup, which has a unique and mellow flavor.

The longan fruit is one of the oldest fruit trees on earth. A scholar from the former Soviet Union did a lot of research on jujube. He believes that the jujube has a history of 5 to 10 million years on Earth and that the jujube has many uses.
