This fruit is more expensive than apples and sells from 400 to 500 rupees per kg comfortably in the market.
Kafal naturally contains vitamin C and iron which increases the body’s immunity. It is considered a fruit that eradicates fatigue, giving energy and cooling the body in summer. Its use strengthens the digestive system and it is also beneficial for diabetes and heart diseases. It also helps in increasing blood. Apart from Himachal, Kafal is also found in Uttarakhand and Nepal.
In Himachal Pradesh, this wild fruit is found only during the summer season. Therefore, to enjoy it soon, turn to the market, because its last stock is available in the markets at this time. After this, this fruit will be found again next year.
