Dried Jamblon from Madagascar.

Jamblon is also called "Java plum". It grows on the Jamelon tree, which originated in India and Sri Lanka and was introduced to Madagascar in the early 20th century.

The Jamblon is an olive-sized fruit, very dark purple in colour.

Its flesh is very juicy and purple in colour. It contains Anthocyanin and tends to turn the tongue blue when eaten.

The ham is not very sweet. Its slightly acidic and astringent taste means that it is sometimes shunned, but its many medicinal properties more than make up for this taste deficit.

"The fruit, juice, pits and even the leaves and bark of the Jamelonier can be eaten.

Dried Jamblon can be eaten plain or mixed with cereals or yoghurt.

In Reunion, it is often used to make Rhums Arrangés.
