Food: Lang jujube.......love the crunchy drupes....

These are Lang jujube or Chinese date, yet another exotic tropical fruit grown in South California backyards. The round, parrot and reddish color drupes are crisp and super-delicious. I just love to sink my teeth into the spongy flesh. These fruits ripen in autumn and with their striking colors look like Christmas baubles against the drooping green  branches.

In neighborhood gardens .........
