Our seasoning is made from sun-dried, hand-collected petals from Chamoli and Pithoragarh districts - a rare ingredient outside hill kitchens.

Tangy-sweet with floral notes - somewhere between hibiscus and dried cranberry. Slightly tart, not bitter. Sprinkle on salads, yogurt, smoothie bowls, dal, paneer, or use as a finishing salt for grilled vegetables.

What are the health benefits of Buransh?

Traditionally used in Garhwali medicine to support cardiovascular health, regulate blood pressure, aid digestion, and boost immunity. Rich in antioxidants (quercetin, rutin) and vitamin C. A pinch in warm water is a classic high-altitude tonic.
