About Java-plum, (jambolan), raw

The Java plum (Syzygium cumini), widely known as jamun, black plum, or jambolan, is a small oval tropical fruit that grows in clusters on a large evergreen tree native to South Asia and now common across Southeast Asia and beyond. Ripening from green through pink to a deep purple-black, it has thin skin and juicy flesh with a distinctive sweet-and-sour, slightly astringent flavor that famously stains the tongue purple.

Jamun is low in calories and supplies vitamin C, iron, potassium, and the anthocyanin antioxidants behind its dark color, and the fruit and seed have a long traditional use in Ayurveda for supporting healthy blood sugar, a focus of ongoing research. The fruit is eaten fresh with a sprinkle of black salt to tame its tartness, blended into juices, vinegars, and sorbets, fermented into wine, and cooked down into jams and jellies.

Because ripe jamun is delicate and spoils within a day or two, choose firm, glossy, deeply colored fruit, eat it soon after buying, and keep it refrigerated. The season is short, which is part of what makes this fruit such a prized summer treat where it grows.
