📝 Description

What is this product?

Janerik Fruit, also known as Green Plum or Raw Plum, is a seasonal fruit cherished across the Middle East and Mediterranean regions for its crisp texture and refreshing sour flavor. Unlike the fully ripened plum, Janerik is harvested when still green and firm, offering a tangy taste that stimulates the palate and refreshes the senses. It is often enjoyed with a sprinkle of salt or chili for a classic street snack and is a popular seasonal delicacy in spring and early summer. Packed with vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, Janerik fruit helps boost immunity, aid digestion, and promote hydration. Its natural tartness makes it both delicious and energizing — a true favorite among fruit enthusiasts who appreciate bold, fresh flavors.

🌍 Origin

Janerik Fruit originates from the Mediterranean basin, particularly cultivated in Turkey, Lebanon, and Syria. These regions offer the ideal mild climate and fertile soil required for growing Janerik with its signature crisp bite and vibrant green hue. Traditionally handpicked before full ripening, each fruit is carefully selected to ensure premium freshness and flavor. In local culture, Janerik marks the arrival of spring and is celebrated as one of the most refreshing seasonal fruits.
