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.

    issues with your site. It appears like some of the written text within your content are
    running off the screen. Can somebody else please comment
    and let me know if this is happening to them too?
    This could be a problem with my browser because I’ve had this happen previously.
