Summer is one season when markets will be loaded with variety of fruits to quench the thirst.This jamun plum ,called as 'naval pazham' in tamil has a sweet and sour taste with unique purple color leaving a tan on your lips after consuming it. It is loaded with health benefits and its seeds to are believed as a medicine for daibetics.I have heard people drying these seeds after consuming the flesh,powder it and eat a tsp a day.
