Golden Honey Dates

Golden Honey Dates

　　　　Suizhou Golden Honey Dates, named for their golden hue, are renowned for their plump texture, sweet-as-candy taste, sandy crispness, and rich nutrition, making them one of Hubei Province’s top ten famous products. The production of honey dates in Suizhou has a history of over two hundred years. In ancient times, Emperor Renzong once praised them, saying “Suizhou honey dates are better than fresh peaches.” After the liberation, the production of honey dates saw significant development, with large increases in the yield of key raw materials such as “scale-weight jujubes,” “arhat jujubes,” and “milk jujubes.” Nowadays, Tangxian Town and Shangshi Town have become known as the land of honey dates. According to statistics, the annual trade volume has reached over 500,000 kilograms, with sales extending to more than twenty provinces and cities including Wuhan and Beijing.
