Traditional Edible Gondh 

Edible Gondh is a natural tree resin traditionally used in Indian households for preparing energy rich foods. It is mainly sourced from specific trees and carefully cleaned before use. Gondh is not consumed raw and is always roasted or cooked before eating. Once heated, it expands and develops a light, crunchy texture. 

Gondh is commonly used in winter recipes, laddoos, and panjiri due to its nourishing nature. It is valued in traditional food practices for providing warmth and strength to the body. Gondh is often combined with ghee, nuts, seeds, and sweeteners to create homemade preparations. These foods are usually consumed in moderation as part of seasonal diets and family traditions passed down through generations.
