The Green Ber Apple, scientifically known as Ziziphus Mauritiana, is an evergreen shrub adorned with spines. The fruit it bears showcases a wide range of shapes and sizes, including oval, obovate, oblong, or round. Its flesh is characterized by its crisp, white texture, and when the fruit is slightly under-ripe, it offers a touch of juiciness and emits a pleasant aroma. The fruit's skin is smooth, glossy, and delicately thin, yet tightly adhering to the flesh.
Ber Apples are a low-calorie fruit that packs a punch in terms of dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, and potent antioxidants. Furthermore, they are notable for containing reasonable levels of potassium, a vital element for regulating muscle functions and maintaining electrolyte balance. Additionally, Ber fruits are rich in amino acids, comprising 18 out of the 24 essential ones crucial for promoting growth and development.
Widely recognized as Ziziphus jujuba, these fruits fall under the botanical name Ziziphus Mauritiana. They typically begin blooming and fruiting around the 4-5 year mark, with maintenance requirements that are considered moderate.
