Jamun is
known by several local names such as jambas, jamun, jambolan, kala jamun,
jamali, plum and black berry. This purple tropical berry has a unique taste, often
oblong and has a deep purple to bluish colour. Due to its acidic nature, it is
usually eaten with a sprinkling of salt. Jamun is 70 per cent edible. Glucose
and fructose are major sugars found in a ripe jamun. The fruit is laden with a
large number of minerals and provides fewer calories compared to other fruits.
A medium-sized jamun provides about 3-4 calories. The seed of the fruit is also
rich in protein carbohydrates and traces of calcium. It is also a source of
iron, providing 1-2 mg per 100 grams and also vitamin C, providing 18 mg per 100
grams. It provides folate and vitamin B, carotene, phytochemicals
(anti-oxidants), magnesium, potassium and fibre.
