Huangying Lingzao Dates

Huangying Lingzao Dates

　　Huangying Lingzao Dates are a specialty of Huangying Village, Songtuan Town, Lieshan District, Huaibei City, Anhui Province. The Lingzao Dates from Huangying Village are renowned for their thin, shiny skin, crisp and refreshing taste, small pits, and sweet flavor.

　　In recent years, farmers in Huangying Village have developed date orchards on barren hillsides and formed farmer cooperatives. The Lingzao Date planting area now covers 5,000 mu, with an output value reaching 70 million yuan. The Lingzao Date trees are grafted from wild jujube seedlings, resulting in high quality and excellent taste. Influenced by Huangying Village, neighboring villages such as Maqiao and Xinyuan in Songtuan Town have also started cultivating dates, forming an initial scale of several hundred mu.

　　“Hetian Apples, Huangying Dates” — the reputation of Lingzao Dates continues to grow. Local traders from nearby cities like Xuzhou and Suzhou, as well as those from farther regions such as Nanjing and Wenzhou, actively come to purchase the dates, distributing them across the country.
