What else you need to know:

The (Honey-fried) jujube date is one of the main herbs used in TCM to "harmonize" formulas ... so this is a good one to have around if you are taking a number of different herbs and supplements, because it has the quality of helping to blend the different energies and constituents of widely different herbs, nutrients, and other minerals into something your body can more easily recognize and absorb into the body. 

Suggested usage:

This "herb" is food, so there is no "dosage" as such, although they are quite high in sugar content. You can eat the dates singly, cook them into oatmeal, porridge, or congee--which is a good prep method for folks with very weak digestion that are having trouble keeping enough food down to recover from a weakened state. They are also yummy baked into cakes, cookies, muffins, etc...
