Notes: Candied Dates, traditionally known as Mì Zǎo (蜜棗), are jujube fruits that have been sweetened and preserved to create a soft, chewy texture and distinctly rich sweetness. They are a popular ingredient in Chinese and Cantonese cooking and are especially valued for adding natural fruit flavor and sweetness to soups, herbal teas, broths, desserts, and traditional tonic preparations. Unlike ordinary dried red dates, candied dates undergo additional processing with sugar or syrup, giving them a sweeter flavor, lighter or golden-brown appearance, and softer texture. Their mellow sweetness is frequently used to balance the bitter or earthy flavors of herbs in traditional soups and beverages. Candied Dates can also be enjoyed as a sweet ingredient in baked goods, congee, desserts, and other culinary preparations.
