Jamun trees are indigenous to India. Their fruits, also known as the Indian blackberry, are highly sought-after in India for their taste and their medicinal value that includes a rich source of iron. Even their seeds are widely used in India to control diabetes. When the small, sweet-smelling flowers that grow on Jamun trees start to bloom, the honeybees began to forage on them. They collect the nectar that is turned into exquisite 100% natural forest honey. But just like the fruit itself, Jamun honey is one of the very few varieties that tastes a little bitter while retaining that distinct sweetness. It also has a darker color with a rich aroma of Jamun.
Many people use Jamun honey as their preferred substitute for sugar since it provides that delicate balance in taste.
