　　-- Named a National Famous, Special, and High-Quality New Agricultural Product in 2015

　　The Dolang Original Jujube is large in size, has thick flesh, and is rich in trace elements. It contains 20%–36% sugar, while dried jujubes contain 55%–80% sugar. It is high in calories and can serve as a food substitute.

　　In the northern edge of the Taklamakan Desert in Xinjiang, within the Yarkand River basin, grows a mysterious and magical fruit. It thrives in fertile, weakly alkaline sandy soil and is nourished year-round by the snowmelt from the Kunlun Mountains.

　　Legend has it that when the Monkey King Sun Wukong caused havoc in heaven and kicked over the alchemy furnace of the Supreme Old Lord, some of the furnace bricks fell onto Turpan in Xinjiang — now known as the famous Flaming Mountains. At the same time, an immortal pill from the furnace dropped into Awati County in the Aksu region, just one mountain away from Turpan. Since then, Awati County has produced these magical “immortal pills” year after year. People gave this “pill” a beautiful name: the ‘Dolang (Original) Jujube’.

　　The Dolang Original Jujube is also rich in various vitamins such as vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin B2. Its vitamin C content ranks among the highest in fruits, reaching 0.1–0.6 grams per 100 grams — about 100 times higher than that of apples and peaches. Its vitamin P content is also the highest among all fruits, earning it the title of “natural vitamin pill.” The Dolang Original Jujube also contains health-beneficial chemical compounds such as 14 types of amino acids including glutamic acid, lysine, and arginine, 6 types of organic acids like malic acid and succinic acid, flavonoids, and 36 types of trace elements including phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and iron.
