Picture of Hisalu
Hisalu Fruit Benefits: Many rare and medicinal properties are found in the beautiful plains of the Himalayan regions. One of these major fruits is Hisalu, which is also called the nectar of the mountain. This wild fruit is considered very special due to its sweetness, taste and medicinal properties. However, it can only be seen and tasted for 3 months between March and May.
When the color of Hisalu fruit is cooked, it turns dark yellow or orange. Its size is small and a slight sour-sweet in taste, which makes a taste like raspberry. Its shrubs grow in the mountainous areas on the forests, roads and on the rams of the fields. At this time, Hisalu is growing in large quantities in the forests around the mandi.
Dr. Om Raj Sharma says that Hisalu’s scientific name is Rubus Ellipticus. It is a plant of Gulab family and is found in the Indian subcontinent, Nepal, Philippines, China. In addition to eating it as fresh fruits, it is also used in making syrup and jam.
Help in increasing immunity
The doctor says that Hislu is not only the best in taste, but it is rich in vitamin-C, antioxidants and other nutrients, which help in increasing immunity. In traditional medicine, it is used to heal stomach problems, headache, fever and wounds, due to which it is considered a healthy fruit.
Gradually becoming rare
However, despite Hisalu’s popularity, it is gradually becoming rare. Its availability has decreased due to cutting of forests and changes in natural ecosystems. Local people are trying to save it, but increasing urbanization and uncontrolled exploitation are threatening the existence of this nectar.
Promoting its cultivation
Local people in the mountainous areas are making efforts to preserve Hisalu and promote its cultivation. Many voluntary organizations and farmers are now focusing on its commercial cultivation so that it can be safe for generations to come. Hisalu is not only the gift of the mountains, but also an important part of the lifestyle and culture there. It needs to be preserved, otherwise this rare fruit will be limited to stories only.
