Jamu, jambol, java plum or Indian blackberry are not only nutritious and refreshing, but are also effective in combating sun's heat and a number of health problems.
They contain several nutrients and vitamins that help fight various diseases like cancer, diabetes, infections and liver problems. But that's not all that jamuns can do.
Popular for its sweet and slightly sour flavour, and that soft & fleshy consistency, jamuns are a pure delight for everyone, especially considering the fact that they're a rich source of proteins, vitamins, antioxidants, flavonoids, manganese, potassium, phosphorous and calcium.
Five health benefits of jamuns:
- Jamuns are low on calories, which makes them the perfect healthy snack. They also aid digestion and promote natural bowel movement.
- Jamun juice has bioactive phytochemicals that minimise the risk of liver disease and cancer.
- They are also known to be effective in treatment of diabetes. Extracts of bark, leaves and seeds are used in combination with herbs to reduce levels of glycosuria and blood sugar.
- Jamun juice acts as a natural astringent and is used as a mouthwash, as it eliminates bad breath.
- The pulp of this fruit is used in the treatment of gingivitis (bleeding gums)
