Jujube's Remarkable Resurgence: From Pig Feed to Pricy Delicacy
Madrid, Spain - A recent viral video by TikTok creator 'Frutero TikTokero' has shed light on the surprising economic shift surrounding the jujube fruit, locally known as 'azufaifa.' The creator, known for his fruit-related content, highlighted how this once-overlooked fruit, which he claims was previously not even consumed by animals, now commands prices of nearly 10 euros per kilogram in the market. The video showcases the 'azufaifa' in various stages of ripeness, with the creator demonstrating its taste and texture. He describes the fruit as sweet, aromatic, and somewhat dry, noting his preference for a specific ripeness level that offers a balance of sweetness without being too soft. According to the TikToker, the scarcity of this fruit, which was once abundant and often fell to the ground uncollected, has driven up its value significantly. He even mentioned instances where imported 'azufaifa' can reach prices of 50 euros or more per kilo. This phenomenon reflects a broader trend in modern consumer habits, where previously undervalued natural products are gaining popularity and commanding higher prices due to changing tastes, perceived health benefits, or simply increased demand and reduced local availability. The 'Frutero TikTokero' challenges viewers to consider how their own regions refer to this fruit, sparking a conversation about local produce and evolving food economies.
