I found fresh jujube for sale at an asian grocery store in Seattle for $2.60
per pound.  I had never eaten these before, so I bought a bag.  Not what I
expected.  They are a little crisp, not much juice with almost no flavor.
Pleasant, but not very exciting.  They are slowly turning from light yellow
to brown, and I think they are improving.  Maybe they need to get brown all
over before I will like them.  Is this the typical fresh jujube experience,
or did I get a bad batch?
