Jamoon is also known as Jambul, Jaman, black plum or Indian blackberry. Jamoon or Indian blackberry is rich in carbohydrates and proteins. It is also a good source of Iron, Vitamin C, Vitamin B, calcium and potassium which makes it great for boosting immunity and bone strength.

Jamun fruit is a mixture of sweet slightly sub acid spicy flavor that stands out even after eaten, since it turns the tongue into purple color. The fruit is universally accepted to be very good for medicinal purposes especially for diabetics as it has low glycaemia index.  Each and every part of Jamoon tree is very useful.

The seeds are used in herbal tea for diabetics and also seeds can be dried and powdered and taken with curd or water for diabetics.
