We dry ours and they last forever. While living and shopping in Seoul,
Korea, we never saw them fresh, but always dried. Some market stands had
ONLY jujubes, of various sizes and shapes, priced accordingly. Hundreds of
lbs, all dried.
I understand the Vietnamese and Indians prefer them in the crispy, less
ripe stage, as referred to in this articles. Indians staying with us have
picked out the less ripe ones, not eating the riper (shriveled ones).
Long story short, we sell most of ours dried. They keep forever that way,
so we're not scrambling for buyers.

SW VA, where all our jujubes survived -15F last winter.
