The mouth-puckering flavours of the inky Indian blackberry known as jamun, has been a popular summer snack for most of us growing up in India. Usually eaten as it is, or used to make jams, compotes, chutneys and added to cake batters, the seasonal summer berry also makes a beautiful purple juice, when pressed and extracted. Drinking a glass of this astringent juice when the berries are in season, are a great way to reap the multiple health benefits it has to offer. Apart from being a good source of essential nutrients like vitamins A, C, and E, jamun juice also contains minerals like calcium, iron, potassium, as well as dietary fibre, which can contribute to overall health.
