Trivia
[Hardcore] 'Gond Katira (summer cooling)' and 'Gond (winter heating)' are totally different, needing caution when buying. This 'Gond' has intense 'body-warming effects (heat property)' and joint-lubricating actions in Ayurveda; an ingredient like a 'chunk of love' North Indian grandmothers invariably make for families in winter.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] For postpartum recovery or severe winter mornings, eat just one 'Gond Ka Ladoo' packed with almonds and Ghee with warm milk, making it an internal fireplace burning all day!
