Selenium-Rich Jujubes

Selenium-Rich Jujubes

　　Selenium-Rich Jujubes have been tested by national authorized testing institutions, including the Beijing Nutrition Source Institute, which determined their selenium content to be between 0.23–0.28 μg. They are also rich in protein, fat, carbohydrates, carotene, B vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin P, as well as calcium, phosphorus, iron, and cyclic adenosine monophosphate, among other nutrients. These jujubes help to boost the body’s immunity, eliminate toxic substances from within, and prevent the occurrence and progression of various diseases. Regular consumption is beneficial to health.
