Description

Mahua Raab is made by tribals in the remote Gadchiroli belt using a rare forest flower that’s sweet and iron-rich. Foraged by adivasis, the Mahua flower is packed with vitamins, phosphorus and calcium, making this product an ideal after-meal dessert or at-work energy booster.

Endemic to the forests of Maharashtra, Madhuca Longifolia or the Mahua tree has flowers, leaves and seeds that come with a host of culinary and therapeutic benefits. The dried flower’s high sugar content makes it a natural sweetener, and its cooling property helps with piles and diarrhoea. The minor forest produce has deep cultural roots, featuring in rituals associated with birth, marriage and death. This tree of life is believed to be divine, coming back to form with just a trickle of water, no matter how dry.
