Mango Pickle
The Majestic Badhar (Monkey Jack)
Badhar, scientifically known as Artocarpus lacucha (or Monkey Jackfruit), is a highly seasonal and rare tropical fruit native to the Indian subcontinent. It has a uniquely tart and tangy flavor profile.
Why is Badhar a Superfood?
In ancient Ayurvedic texts, Badhar is highly praised for its medicinal properties:
- ✓Anti-inflammatory: It is wely used to reduce internal inflammation and joint pain.
- ✓Skin Health: Rich in unique antioxants, consuming Badhar helps detoxify the blood and promotes glowing skin.
- ✓Digestive A: It acts as a natural stomach cleanser.
Unfortunately, due to the difficulty of sourcing the fruit, commercial pickle brands completely ignore it. But at Bhojnamrit Foods, we take immense pre in preserving this heritage with our authentic Product: badhar-pickle-01. Made with pure Kachi Ghani mustard oil, our Badhar pickle is a rare delicacy that brings ancient health benefits straight to your dining table.

Ginger Pickle (Adrak Achar)
The Tangy Karonda (Bengal Currant)
Karonda (Carissa carandas) is a small, berry-like fruit that turns beautifully pink and purple when ripe. It is famously tart and is often used as a souring agent in regional Indian cooking.
The Power of Karonda
- ✓Iron Rich: Karonda is an incredible source of iron, making it highly beneficial for people suffering from anemia.
- ✓Vitamin C: Much like Amla, Karonda is packed with Vitamin C, strengthening the immune system against seasonal flu.
- ✓Heart Health: The berry is known to help lower blood pressure and improve overall cardiovascular health.
When transformed into a pickle using our traditional sun-drying methods and robust spices, Karonda loses its extreme astringency and becomes a mouth-watering, tangy delight that pairs perfectly with Dal Chawal or hot Parathas.
