Jamun or Indian Java Plum or Indian BlackBerry which we get in summers is a powerhouse of nutrition.It's health benefits are known to all.They have medicinal benefits also. .
It's polyphenolic compounds are effective against many diseases like diabetes, arthritis, asthma,stomach ulcers and even cancer.
It also increases Haemoglobin, cures liver diseases and high blood pressure.
I am in love with this fruit and so is my husband but when it comes to my kids, they detest it to the core.But if they loathe it , I can't deprive them of its benefits so I keep on trying different methods to feed them this nutritious fruit.
This time I thought of making Icecream out of it which no kid dislikes.
