Did you know?
A soft, sweet kernel about the size of a lentil, used in India in place of almond in sweets, koftas and curry sauces. The tree mostly grows wild in forest, and gathering the seed is a source of income for forest communities. Its high oil content makes it spoil quickly, so it is kept cool.
Consumption tip
Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
