In this note, we examine some of the properties of Hermitian operators on complex unital Banach Jordan algebras, that is, those operators with real numerical range. Recall that a unital Banach Jordan algebra J, is a (real or complex) Jordan algebra with product a ˚ b, having a unit 1, and a norm ∥·∥, such that J, with norm ∥·∥, is a Banach space, ∥1∥ = 1, and, for all a and b in j,
