Zizyphus species are categorised under Amradiphala Varga in Bhavprakash Nighantu. It is commonly known as Ber. Beyond their medicinal value, these fruits hold a sacred place in Indian culture and spiritual tradition. One of the most beloved references to the jujube fruit comes from the Ramayana, where an elderly devotee named Shabari offered the ber fruits to Lord Sri Rama.
