[Sca-cooks] Jujubes

[Mark S. Harris]

In the Great Courses, Food History class episode, "The Alexandrian Exchange and Four Humors" there is mention of a small fruit imported from the East called "Jujubes". "A tiny, little date-like fruit"

Did this fruit/interest in this fruit, die out before medieval times? If not, has anyone served this at an SCA feast? Where did you find it? The instructor does say that they can sometimes be found in western supermarkets.

Thanks,
  Stefan
