Goolar: The Wonder Flower Which You Should Know About
There are many varieties of wild figs in India and their size can vary from as small as a chickpea to being as large as a dinner plate. Most of them are edible and wild figs have been used as food for ages. Unripe goolar is astringent in quality and helps in healing the gut lining. It is rich in fiber and helps the gut microbiome grow. It is good for the stomach in many different ways. We discussed Goolar more with nutritionist Sangeeta Khanna.

    You have already sprayed all flowers and fruits with pesticides. Wild fig is one of the last few remaining edible food that is solely available to the wild creatures. If you start eating these also, what will the insects and flies eat now? I remember some 25 years back when mango trees where covered with parrots who feasted on it. Today, people are plucking them with bamboo sticks to make pickles. Now suddenly the parrots too have disappeared. 😢

    Brother is facing loss as brother told that he invested Rs 3 crore 40 lakh and it will take at least 7 years and 1 month to recover that much money. If the brother had made an FD of the same money in the bank, giving him a average interest rate of 8%, the value of his money would have increased to Rs 6 crore 2 lakh in the next 7 years, and the brother would have been able to fully utilize his land, if the brother had got the electricity unit increasing every year. If he get money according to the price then maybe this business can give profit but on fixed unit cost this business is a complete loss making deal. "हर चमकती चीज़ सोना नहीं होती" I don't know who my brother's financial advisor was but whoever it was, he/she gave very poor advice to my brother. Brother is incurring a loss of crores of rupees but the media people are portraying him as an ideal man whereas by doing simple calculations one can find out the business is profitable or not.

    The crucial question remains unanswered: Where did this disease come from? Investigation of the cause thoroughly is what scientists should do, whether for plants or for humans. They find something in the diseased tissue, and give fancy names like Fusarium or Corona. But how did that tissue acquire the fungus or virus? Nobody cares. Prevention is better than cure. Perhaps if we can identify the real cause (wrong farming practices, technique, cleanliness and hygiene,etc.) we can skip the additional expenses on pesticides.
