It has been grown in China's Ningxia region for centuries and is eaten almost entirely dried; the figures here are for the dried fruit, about half of whose weight is sugar.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
