Jujube Seed Calmed Mice in One Study
Thai Milk Jujube · พุทรานมสด · Ziziphus mauritiana
Thai Milk Jujube — พุทรานมสด (phut-sa-nom-sod) — Ziziphus mauritiana.
Jujube — พุทรานมสด, poot-sah-nom-sode. Fresh, it snaps like a tiny green apple, but dried, the same fruit wrinkles into a chewy red date. The edible part is the fruit. In mice, jujube leaf and seed extracts were measured against calming behavior markers. It's rich in vitamin C and potassium. Phutsa Jim Prik Gaa pairs sliced, crisp raw jujube with a sweet and spicy chili-salt dip. Phutsa Chueam simmers the fruit in sugar syrup until it turns glossy and deep red, served chilled over shaved ice with a drizzle of fresh milk. You eat jujube fresh — bite the crisp, apple-like fruit whole with the skin, mostly enjoyed for its high vitamin C. Concentrated jujube seed supplements can have a calming effect, so be careful taking them alongside sedatives — eating the fresh fruit is fine. This weeping, thorny tree thrives on hard rejuvenation pruning. Follow Longevity Biome for a new Thai plant every day.
