FruitsLatkan, a monsoon fruit of Bangladesh, is on sale for only a short time and spoils fast if stored badly. Choosing sound fruit, refrigerating it, freezing it in small portions and washing it just before eating help keep its quality.
FruitsA Jagonews24 report of 17 June 2026 said the seasonal fruit latkan could support weight control but was no magic cure; published research on the fruit and health-authority advice put the claim in context.
The small sweet-and-sour karamcha, a familiar seasonal fruit of rural Bengal, offers surprising health benefits from immunity to digestion.
FruitsLatkan, Bangladesh's sweet-and-sour rainy-season fruit, offers calcium, phosphorus, potassium and some vitamin C. In June 2026 Jagonews24 listed points to know before eating it; here they are checked against nutrition research and health agencies.
Ginger has many health benefits, but eating too much can upset the stomach, lower blood sugar, raise bleeding risk and trigger allergies; doctors say up to 5 grams a day is safe for a healthy adult.
Jamun seeds, usually thrown away, are believed to help with blood sugar, digestion, blood pressure, immunity and weight when dried and powdered, though they are no substitute for medical treatment.
Nutritionists consider 8 to 10 medium litchis a day generally safe for a healthy adult and 4 to 6 for children, while eating too many can upset blood sugar and digestion.
Jamun is a nutritious summer fruit, but eating too much, or eating it the wrong way, can lower blood pressure and blood sugar and cause digestive and skin problems.
A healthy adult can usually eat one or two medium-sized mangoes a day, but eating too many can raise blood sugar, add calories and upset digestion.
FruitsOn 8 June 2026 Jagonews24 advised soaking ripe mangoes in water for one to two hours before eating. Research shows rinsing or soaking in plain water removes some pesticide residue but not all, while no health authority supports its claims about phytic acid and 'body heat'.
Not every mango in the market tastes the same, and a few simple checks can help buyers pick sweet, juicy, naturally ripe fruit.
HealthJamun, the seasonal black plum in Bangladesh's markets in June 2026, is a juicy, low-calorie fruit with vitamin C, potassium and fibre. But evidence in people for many claimed benefits, including blood-sugar control, is mixed or missing, and it is no substitute for medicine.
Often thrown away, jackfruit seeds are rich in protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals and can help digestion, heart health, immunity and more.
