BER FRUIT
Also known as
Ziziphus, Bor, Ranbor, Indian Jujube
The Ber fruit is also associated with Sabari, an old woman
who
is mentioned in the Hindu epic Ramayana. She is believed to
have tasted the fruits first, and then offered only the sweet
and ripe ones to Lord Rama and His brother Lakshmana.
Ber is a tropical fruit. You will find it being sold by street cart
vendors outside schools, beaches etc since it's a hit amongst
all ages.
Medical researchers have found a “new” flavonoid in ber
called zivulgarin and trials are underway to discover how it
might benefit us. Oleamide found in an extract of Zizyphus
jujube has been found to help fight Alzheimer’s disease, and
help the cognitive processes.
Ber contains vitamin C in the form of ascorbic acid , as well
as the B-complex vitamins, thiamin, riboflavin and pectin. It
has immunostimulant, antioxidant and wound healing
properties, and pectin is known to be useful in cases of
diarrhoea. The fruit also helps lower cholesterol levels and
blood pressure. Some of the triterpenoic acids isolated from
the fruit are also believed to be useful in fighting cancer and
HIV.
