nutrients like calcium, iron, potassium and Vitamin C making it great

the fruit also helps increase haemoglobin count. Vitamin C and iron,
are two nutrients present in jamun that are responsible for this health
benefit.
Keeps heart disease at bay
The potassium content in jamuns is
high, with a 100g serving containing 55 mg of potassium. People who eat
unhealthy diets may face deficiency of this vital ingredient, and that
may lead to heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke among other
things. It is important that you eat foods like jamun and tomatoes which
are rich in this ingredient, as such foods often contain many other
nutrients also that are beneficial for your health.
Leaves of the tree are good for your digestive and oral health
