Jamun is a large evergreen tree of the myrtle family with glossy leaves and clusters of purple-black, juicy fruits that stain the tongue. It is native to the Indian subcontinent and grows throughout India, including Kerala, where it is called njaval.
Known in Sanskrit as Jambu, its seed, bark and fruit are valued in Ayurveda. The seed powder is traditionally used for general wellness, and the astringent bark in mouth-care and digestive preparations.
