RHODODENDRON (BURANSH) FLOWER JAM 250gms

Rhododendron (Rhodo) or Buransh is Uttarakhand’s State Tree. This honour has rightfully been bestowed upon this tree due to its numerous medicinal properties. Grown at a height of 5000 to 7,500 feet it is a plant in the family of Ericaceae with over 1000 species throughout the world. In Uttarakhand normally Buransh is available in dark red colour. It is however found in pink colour at some places. The blooming of Rhodo presents a fantastic look. In the back-drop of shining silvery Himalayas, the dark red Rhodo flowers portray a celestial picture.

After blooming a chunk of Rhodo flowers starts falling on the hill sides, which gets a dark red cover of rhodo flowers. Trekkers enjoy the red-carpet welcome accorded to them by the Nature’s bounteous gesture. The bright-red, bell-shaped flower of the Rhododendron arboreum tree has more to it than aesthetics that it grants to the valleys it is found in. It gives the locals a unique food culture and dose of good health in the form of delectable savouries.
