CHIRAUNJI

Description

Chironji, a nutty seed touted for its sweet and salty taste, is one such ingredient that is commonly found stacked in most Indian kitchen cabinets. Clad by the vernacular name “charoli”, the chironji seeds are often considered as a substitute for almonds and are used extensively for making delicious cuisines and mouth-watering sweets during many festivals. The holistic science of Ayurveda classifies this seed as an absolute remedy for several health conditions including headache, respiratory disorders, mouth ulcers, cough, skin rashes, infertility, and constipation. Be it the seeds or nuts, kernels, fruits, root, oil, or gum, each and every part of the chironji plant has immense therapeutic properties and is extensively used for formulating several traditional medicines.
