Description
Wild Semal Bud Pickle is a himalayan and north Indian special! Our mountains and northern plains come alive with the bright red flowers of the semal tree in late winter and early spring.
Our river valleys are full of dozens of semal trees (Bombex ceiba) which belongs to the family of bombacaeae. Semal is native to India, Asia, Australia, and Africa. The tree bears spectacular deep red flowers, and a tiny capsule that contains white fibers like cotton when they are fully ripe. The fruit of this tree that comes in buds is cooked, eaten, and pickled. Cotton from the tree is used as fabric filler.
From flowers to seeds to leaves, semal has been very popular because of its health properties and other wellness incentives that can be derived from it. In fact, since age-old times, our mountain communities have been making use of this wonder plant, thus protecting this tree for ages. The tree is believed to have potent antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, analgesic, and oxytocic properties.
We are bringing this seasonal specialty to you!
Semal in Tons Valley:
We have chosen village clusters to sustainably harvest flower buds. We use a very tiny number of trees in each village every year so that there is no undue pressure on the environment as a lot of wild fauna which also feed on these flowers.
