Rugda Mushroom

A monsoon marvel from India's tropical forests, this wild mushroom is known for its meaty texture.

Hidden in plain sight, these sweet, golden-hued berries are a cherished taste of summer, defined by their creamy texture and rich flavour.

This monsoon vegetable might appear prickly, but offers a tender bite, often enjoyed in curries and stir-fries for its mild flavour.

Bursting with a sweet-tangy flavour, this tropical fruit can be enjoyed raw, pickled, or juiced.

Often overlooked as mere flowers, squash blossoms are edible and lend a delicate, sweet essence to several culinary creations.

Often mistaken for a tiny cucumber, tendli delivers a crisp, tangy bite to curries and stir-fries.

Thriving in India’s tropical climates, this tuber is enjoyed in hearty sabzis, creamy mashes and stir fries.
