Description
Jamun, also known as black plum or Indian blackberry, is a dark purple fruit with juicy flesh and a sweet-sour taste that leaves a distinctive purplish tint on the tongue. Grown in Bangladesh, India, and Sri Lanka, and scientifically named Syzygium cumini, jamun is eaten fresh, pickled, or turned into cooling summer drinks. It has a mildly astringent flavor with a refreshing tartness and is prized in traditional medicine for its ability to help regulate blood sugar.
