Most people discard the seeds without a second thought. That is the most useful part of the fruit. This DIY seed powder takes a few days of patience and gives you three months of a daily wellness habit. Make a batch now and thank yourself later.

Ingredients:
- 300g fresh jamun seeds (reserved while eating fresh fruit or from vendors)

Method:
- Collect jamun seeds throughout the season. Wash and pat completely dry.
- Spread seeds on a clean cloth in direct sunlight for 3-5 days until completely brittle and dry.
- Once fully dry, grind in a mixer/blender into fine powder. Grind in small batches for best results.
