The Indian jujube, or ber, is a spiny evergreen shrub or small tree of the buckthorn family with oval leaves and round to oval fruits that ripen from green to reddish brown. It grows in dry regions across India and is widely cultivated for its fruit.
In Ayurveda it is known as Badara. The fruit is eaten fresh and dried, the leaf has traditionally been used in hair washes, and the bark in preparations for digestive comfort.
