Greetings from Dhaka Bangladesh. In my eid - ul- adha vacation I go to my home town Gopalganj. In my house we have a lot of fruit trees. One of the fruit tree is carandas. In bengali it is called "karanca".
In our home we have two carandas tree. One is sour carandas tree another one is sweet chrandas tree. Sour carandas tree give us sour tasted fruit and sweet carandas tree give us sweet tasted fruit.
Above the tree is the sour carandas tree
The flower of this tree is small in size. During this time we get fruit from the tree. It is sour in taste. It colours are light red when it is mature. It colours can be pink and white. In the early stage it colours become green and some are green and light red mixed. When it is ripening it colours become blackish in the outside and innerside it colours is deep pink.
Above the tree is sweet carandas tree
The flower of this tree is big in size. During this time it gives flower. Till now it is not give us fruit. But this year I hope it will give us fruit. It is sweet in taste.
This fruit have so much benefits. Some of them are
- It can reduce diabetes.
- It decreases cholesterol.
- Regular eating of this fruit reduce the risk of heart attack.
- And also reduce urinary tract infection
It is true that regular consuming carandas has many benefits, but carandas has been dyed and soaked in sugar juice, and it is sold as ‘cherry’. It has no benefit. Rather, there is a risk of damage.
I pick up many carandas fruit from my tree. And I bring it with me to eat those fruit. During that day I make a fruit salad.
To make this fruit salad I took 25 to 30 carandas fruit.
Above picture is manual grinder. With the help of this grinder we can grind any fruit by using our hand. So I use it to grind. I took 4 dry red chilli. At first I fry those 4 dry red chilli.
Then I put carandas,Himalayan pink salt and fried chilli into the grinder and grind it. We can also use green chilli and red dry chilli together. And also use tamarine juice in it for better test this is for whom those are like sour taste most.
The fruit salad is ready to eat. I eat this fruit salad individually. It can be eat with another food items. It was a great day. I eat this salad after a long time. I enjoy it.
Thanks for reading my post. Have a nice day.
