Product Description

These glossy leaves (Murraya koenigii) are essential for South Indian tempering. Each 100g contains 8-10 vibrant sprigs with complex citrus-curry aroma that intensifies when fried in ghee. Rich in carbazole alkaloids that promote hair growth - traditionally used in coconut oil infusions for scalp massage. The stems contain more flavor than leaves - always include in cooking. Store wrapped in newspaper in breathable container (2 weeks refrigerated). For preservation, crisp-fry in oil and freeze, or sun-dry and powder. Farmers harvest at perfect maturity - young enough to be tender but mature enough for full volatile oil development. Contains unique compounds like koenimbine and mahanimbine with demonstrated anti-diabetic properties. Essential for authentic sambar, rasam, and chutneys.
