This blog is a platform to publish my experiments with cooking. It also incorporates my organic farming ventures at home. It is high time we discard the toxic and adulterated food and go back to mother nature and find more edible plants and fruits which are not preferred by the present generation. We are also bringing out a self invented recipe of healthy and delicious fresh cut Veg. Salads and Soups which can be tried by anyone for a change.

I recently found out that this is not Jamun. Sorry. It is Grumichama or Spanish Berry. Looks and tastes like Jamun. It flowered a lot last month. Will look beautiful with all that fruit on it.
Again apologies. It is Kili Njaval as known in Kerala. The birds flock to the tree when the violet berries are ripe. So it is called Kili Njaval. The fruit is good for controlling sugar levels in the body.
Can it be grown from seed?
Yes...but you can get bud or grafted plants from almost all nurseries...
A lot of small plants grow from seeds under the tree. But I do not keep them, because it takes lot of space and I have only 10 cents...!! But I give to those who ask for it. Also I planted two plants near our Ollur Church Football Ground.
