The ‘Indigenous’ Figs: The preserve is done with the variety of figs called ‘Wild Indian Figs / Cluster Figs / Goolar Figs’ which are found wild across the Indian Subcontinent. These fruits are adapted to the Indian Climate and suit the biological needs of human body when consumed in India. Unlike the Afghan figs that are readily available in the market, much effort is taken to gather these figs from the wild
The ’Wild’ Advantage: These figs are collected from the trees occurring naturally in the wild. They are free from harmful pesticides and manual interventions like hybridization and genetic modification. Hence the energy levels are very high compared to the fruits from cultivated plants
Pickles & Health: A lot of transformation in the pickling methods after modernization has made the mankind to interpret pickles the bad way. 'Pickling' generally refers to preservation for long time use. It can be done with salt or sugar or oil. When completely natural and unadulterated ingredients are used for pickling, the health benefits are good
Cold-Packing: The relationship between the rate of processing and nutrition levels is huge. When the ingredients are heated and processed at high-speed using modern machines, there is a greater loss in nutritive values. Our pickles are prepared by traditional method which involves only the soaking of fruits and spices in salt and oil for 21 days. No cooking is done to ensure that the nutrition levels are high
Uniqueness: Employing equal ratio of lemon with the fresh wild Indian figs to avoid oral allergy syndrome is the uniqueness of this pickle. If figs alone are pickled, they might cause an irritation in the throat or oral cavity. Eco-friendly glass jars employed for storage contribute to the retention of nutrition levels for a longer time
Cold-Pressed Oils: Usage of un-adulterated, un-refined, cold-pressed oil obtained from sun-dried sesame seeds in the pickle contributes to the retention of nutrition and aroma. It ensures guilt-free consumption of the pickle and adds up to various health benefits
