In recent years, the tendency towards natural therapies has increased, due to increase in incidence of certain diseases and adverse effects of drugs used in the treatment of such diseases. Jujube could be considered as a natural therapeutic material because of bioactive and nutritional properties. The aim of present review is to introduce jujube fruit in terms of chemical composition, effects on health and bioactive properties.
