Abstract

Syzygium cumini, commonly known as Jamun or black plum, is an indigenous Indian fruit with numerous health benefits. Rich in antioxidants, flavonoids, polyphenols, iron, and vitamin C, this tropical evergreen plant from the Myrtaceae family has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. Jamun has been employed to treat various ailments, including metabolic conditions such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. Despite its potential, the fruit's benefits remain largely untapped. This essay explores the nutritional value of Jamun and highlights its potential in combating metabolic syndromes.
