The method of baking jujube How to bake and process red jujube?

1, drying method is to use natural ventilation method, so that the date fruit gradually evaporate water to become red dates. This method is suitable for the harvesting period often rainfall infested areas and thin flesh texture loose varieties. The method is: pick to rotten jujube fresh jujube, according to the wet and dry degree of separation, spread on the roof, kiln hole or under the shade of broomcorn millet foil, thickness of about 30 cm or so, stacked into a long ridge or steamed bread shape, every 3 ~ 4 days inverted once, when the cloudy rains should be turned over once a day, after 1 month or so can be drying. Shanxi Province, Zhongyang, Jishan and other jujube area with four walls of the fence room air drying habits, the effect is higher than ordinary houses. Drying in the shade of the jujube fruit, due to better ventilation, its drying speed faster than indoor, but in case of rainfall to cover the rain, or move indoors. So dried jujube, the finished product color is bright, the shape is fuller.

2, sun-drying method is the most commonly used method of drying jujube. Sporadic production of jujube area can be directly on the ground, the roof or on the rock sun; centralized production of jujube area should be laid on the foil sun, that is, in a flat ventilated place without the worry of stagnant water to set up the sun jujube field. Use broomcorn millet foil to lay on broomcorn millet straw handle or brick block, support from the ground about 20 cm, as the jujube store, spread the jujube into a high and low undulating ridge shape, evenly spread on the foil solarization, the thickness of about 6 ~ 10 cm, each square meter foil surface can be spread 30 ~ 50 kg, every hour up and down turning once a day turning 8 ~ 10 times, so that the top and bottom of the dry and even. Night stacked in the middle of the foil, a long ridge, covered with a mat, so as not to be exposed to moisture. The next morning, after sunrise, remove the cover mat, to be foil surface dew dry, and then the date spread to both sides, empty the middle of the pile of jujube damp foil surface. After the foil surface dries, the dates are spread evenly over the entire foil surface and exposed to the sun. After about 15 ~ 20 days, hand holding jujube is not soft, water content down to 28% below, you can pick grading, and store collection. The advantages of this method is good color finished products, simple methods, but encountered even cloudy rains inevitably happen rotten dates.

3, the use of heating and drying equipment drying jujube method, called baking method. This method can avoid the natural drying of the impact of the weather, is the future direction of development. But it needs equipment and fuel, investment is larger. At present, suitable for China's rural conditions is the soil baking room. Earth baking room with simple equipment, low cost, high drying rate, to ensure that more advantages such as vitamin C, and there are baked dried pears, persimmon cakes and other agricultural by-products of a variety of uses, it is worthwhile to promote the application of the date area.
