jujube
Chewy fruit candy
Jujube refers to two different things.
The original jujube is a small fruit from an Asian tree, reddish-brown when dried, with a date-like texture and mild sweet flavor: dried jujubes in traditional medicine.
In American usage, jujube more often means a chewy fruit-flavored candy, the kind sold at movie theater concession stands.
