These sun-dried flowers have a warm, sweet flavour with an aroma reminiscent of a summery deciduous forest.
You’ll be buying directly from the producer. The Locavore does not handle orders, payments, delivery, or customer support.
Mahua flowers bloom once a year, in March-May, and are collected via nets before they naturally fall to the ground. Once collected, they are sun-dried on bamboo machans and packed in air-tight bags.
Have them on their own as a lightly sweet snack, or add them to trail mixes for a bit of texture and depth. They also work well chopped or soaked and added to porridges, desserts, or simple bakes, or used as a garnish over yoghurt or ice cream when you want something slightly different.
With a focus on ethically harvesting and processing Mahua flowers, Wild Harvest’s aim is to introduce Mahua flowers as a viable food for urban consumers, while supporting communities in Jillingsering, Dipatoli, Gautamdhara, Koynardih, and Hapatbeda villages under the Guiridih Panchayat.
