Jamun, also known as black plum or Indian blackberry, is recommended for diabetes treatment due to its low blood sugar spike and healing properties for the liver. It contains antioxidants, reduces inflammation, and supports liver function by regulating bile flow and preventing bloating. Jamun fruit rich in compounds, regulates starch conversion into sugar, maintaining stable blood sugar levels. It may aid insulin use. Consume raw, fresh jamun seeds or ground into powder or drink fresh juice daily, based on doctor’s advice. Consume 8-10 jamuns daily, monitor blood sugar, and consume in a balanced meal, not on an empty stomach or in excess.
Jamun seeds are prized in powdered form but are not consumed raw like the fruit. They have substances that lower blood sugar levels. You can ground the seeds into a fine powder, dry them in the sun, and take one teaspoon per day with buttermilk or water, but only after talking to your doctor if you’re taking diabetes medicine. In general, jamun is best consumed by itself rather than combined with other fruits. Since jamun is astringent, some fruits should not be combined with it since they are acidic and could cause indigestion or acidity. When used with jamun, it may cause intestinal problems. Diabetics may have blood sugar spikes with this combo.
